Letter to Alex: Month 25

Dear Alex,


Today you turn 25 months. I don't know what it is about being two but you sure have turned into a mischievous little monkey. You know exactly what you're not supposed to be doing and that's exactly what you do. And you give me such a sweet innocent look which makes it hard to punish you but you sure do try my patience on a regular basis. You pull everything out of drawers and cupboards, you mess with the computer, you make a mess of your room and refuse to clean it, you run off outside and I have to sprint to catch you before you get into trouble. I have a feeling it's going to be quite a year!



You are a total mama's boy and love to sit and cuddle with me. You can be really sweet and super funny. The things that come out of your mouth seriously crack me up! Your answer for just about any question, whether it makes sense or not, is "because" or "don't know." As much of a momma's boy as you are you still love to play tickle monster with daddy.


You are such a big helper. You help me put the laundry from the washer to the dryer, you carry things into the house from the car, you help take the garbage out, and you LOVE to help make dinner. And if Jarom is helping with something you REALLY want to help out!


You had a great time with your grandparents and cousins in New Mexico for Thanksgiving. You LOVED the dog, Arnie. And you loved playing guns with Jarom, Spencer, and Tanner. You were really good for the trip down and back. You love riding in the van because you can see out the windows and you were always pointing things out for us to look at.



We had a great time putting up the Christmas tree and you love looking at all the ornaments. It is so hard for you to keep your mitts off the tree but you're doing a pretty good job. You are so excited for Christmas! You love Santa, at least from a distance. We saw Santa at our ward Christmas party and you were fine until we sat you on his lap. Then you started screaming. Once you got down you were fine again.



You are such a smart and funny little boy. We love having you in our family.


Love, Mommy
