Von At 2

Some of Von's phrases at age two are...

Where's Woody?

Where'd it go?

It's broken.

Thank you.

Please, Mommy, Please.

Shoes and socks.

Mine.

Hat.

School.

In Here

When Von needs something and doesn't know how to say it he'll come over and get you, guiding you to whatever it is he needs. So this morning Von came over and lead me to where the scissors are to get the tag cut off his shirt.

He guides us where he wants to go. He's very opinionated and bossy for his age. I wonder where he gets that? :)

Show Me The Money

Von found a dollar in Steve's car last night so I asked him who's money it was and he replied, "My money". 

Brownie Lover

Von got a free sundae for his birthday at Apple Bees last night but when the Blue Ribbon Brownie arrived he pushed that ice cream away and dug into the brownie. Brownies are both Von and my favorite dessert. 

Toy Story

Von's favorite movie right now is Toy Story. He also has Woody and Buzz night diapers. When he wants to fine Woody he comes up to you as says, "Where's Woody?" It's really cute.

2 Years Old

Von Charles VI is turning two! I can't believe it. Looking back at all his pictures, seeing how much he has grown. I just love him so much and tell him over and over. I can't get enough of him. He is my miracle, my gift from God, my joy. He is more than I could have ever asked for. He is perfect. He brings happiness, laughter, smiles, and tears of joy. Of course, there are moments of frustration, days of extreme exhaustion, but he is worth every sleepless night, every tense moment, and every day the house is over taken by toys. God, there is no way I can even begin to express my thankfulness for him. Even if I served you as many days as there are stars in the sky it would not repay even a tenth of the debt I owe you for him. Call him to you. May he come to worship you as his savior, to serve you as his maker. Thank you for him. He is truly a blessing. He is mine, all mine and I thank you for that. Happy 2nd Birthday, Von Charles. Know you are loved. 

A Sad Good Bye

Von is spending the weekend at Grandma's and when he walked into the bathroom to look for all the Christmas decoration and saw that they were gone he sadly said, "Where'd they go". He was very sad when Grandma was first trying to take down Christmas that he would keep taking them back out of the boxes as she was trying to package them away. He would cry, "No go away." 

Copy Cat

While Von and I were in the bathroom getting ready for the day Von picked of his little mirror, held it up to his eyes and touched each eye pretending to put in contacts. Do they not copy everything we do or what. 

Sorry

Von went to color on the wall at Nana's last night so Nana had to tell him no. Knowing he was not suppose to be coloring on the wall anyways Von felt really bad. He could hardly look Nana in the eyes and started crying that he was sorry.
