Today, Owen is officially two and a half years old.
Some things he can do:
- Ride a tricycle
- Recite his ABCs, and pick out each letter
- Spell his name
- Tell you his full name, "Owen Luis Saez"
- Play basketball, soccer and baseball
- Name all the main characters in Cars, Finding Nemo, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Cailliou
- Tell you the names of his cousins (Kaylin, Noah and Grace) and all his aunts and uncles
- Use blocks to build a house, a tower, a car wash and even a McDonalds (don't ask)
- Pick out a shark, a dolphin, a redfish and a snapper from a picture chart of fish (see below)
But, our sweet little boy is going through an awful sleeping phase (ever since Christmas), and has quite the temper when he doesn't get what he wants. And, he'll blatantly ignore you if you are telling him to do something he doesn't want to do. I guess he's a typical two year old!
So, happy half-birthday to Owen Luis Saez!
This past week, Lou gave Owen his own fish chart. Owen can now pick out about 6 different fish from the chart. I don't know who was happier - Lou teaching his son about fishing, or Owen learning from his Daddy about Daddy's favorite hobby. I see lots of father/son fishing trips this summer!
This weekend, Mom and Leighton visited us in Savannah. For Christmas, Lou and I bought them tickets to the Merle Haggard concert here, which was Saturday night. We got to spend the weekend with them, and they got to see a legend in concert. Not ten minutes after they arrived, Owen disappeared and then came out of their room in Leighton's red cowboy boots. He put them on by himself and wanted to walk around in them all afternoon. Thanks to Mom and Leighton for visiting us, and putting up with two sick parents.
