Life with Zander is challenging but more manageable.  I still lose my temper from time to time, but I am more able to get back on track after one of his tantrums.  He is just an amazing special little guy.  His language skills just amaze me.  His latest phrase?  “According to my book, mom, <insert factoid here>”  When he is not testing boundaries, he is incredibly helpful and polite.  He enjoys making his brother laugh.   

Zevan has been chatting up a storm these days.  And he is Mr. No And it’s not your typical 2 year old NO!  It’s “No, I won’t do that, Mom.”  When asked to apologize to his brother for hitting him, he replies, “No, I won’t say that.”  The downside of an early talker.  When is he sweet, he is so so sweet.  While he is no longer nursing, he has substituted my belly for comfort.  “I need some belly, Mama.  Mama belly.”
