Hansen got an ear infection on his birthday...so we postponed a day. In that day he went from wanting a "bowling cake"(really easy to make) to a "dragon cake"(bit more intensive). Big mistake...should've just made him suffer on the actual day and done an easier cake. Just kidding. I promise. This boy has had some two year old moments that make me want to pull my hair out, but has learned quickly to say, "Oops, it was an axkident"(even if it was VERY much on purpose)- it makes me smile and he's off the hook, usually. He has started to turn into quite the older brother to Olivia. He gets stuff for her whenever she is crying and when I tell him thank you. He walks off and quietly and proudly says back, "Thank you mama, thank you."(your welcome, in his mind). He follows Garrett around and does whatever he does. He says the same jokes and thinks I will laugh again just because I laughed at Garrett. He has a shy sly way about him...but he is as rambunctious as they come. He is STILL jumping constantly. He'll either have a great vertical when he is older, or major cartilage damage. This pic is a bit blurry...all my pics of him are blurry, cause he is ALWAYS moving. He states the obvious all the time, and blurts out his feelings so sincerely. example: he gets hurt, he looks up at me with his obvious statement of "i hurt myself, i went "wap" right on my head!" I comfort him and kiss it which usually does the trick, but then he walks off saying, "i don't want to be happy, I want to be sad."(in a super pouty voice). He sees Molly as his mother, Garrett as his buddy or antagonizer and he's still not sure about Olivia. I hope I can always remember him at this age. I'm starting to realize how hard that is. All I remember about Garrett at this age is that I was grateful for each day that I was able to keep him alive. Little different with Hansen...hasn't taken nearly as many years off my life. I'll thank him later for that...after he gets through the teen years probably.
