He is just like us + we like him a lot

I am working on my attitude.  I have a great deal to be thankful for in my life.  Rowan may not be the most easygoing kid ever, but he is healthy, developing well, and generally pretty happy and curious.  Some days there is just no pleasing him and I am working on accepting that rather than getting frustrated that I can't make him happy at the moment.  We are all entitled to bad moods now and again.

So big! (And so proud!)
Rowan was actually in a pretty good mood this weekend and more cuddly than usual.  He has never been much of a cuddler since he always just wants to run off (or be carried off) to the next great adventure.  But he even gave me a kiss on the forehead last night!  So sweet. 

I also have to remind myself frequently that he is definitely our kid.  Sure, he is stubborn and can't stand to sit still or wait - just like me.  Of course, I'm an adult so I can control my emotions (slightly) better than my toddler.  He also loves to laugh and loves to make us laugh - that is the best.  The other day he was on the second landing on the stairs and just starting screeching and shaking his whole body - it wasn't an angry screech, it was almost like Tarzan on helium.  Ben and I were ROLLING on the floor with laughter.
I'M SO DARN HAPPY!!
Just like Daddy, Chucks and all. :)
