One More Month of One

Drew is 23 months old! We're going through what we hope is a phase. He has  been crying when we lay him down to bed. At first we thought maybe he didn't feel good or that his gums were hurting....his bottom molars are about out to break through. We've come to the conclusion that he's pretty much playing us.  :) If I put him to bed, he asks for Nick. If Nick puts him to bed, he'll ask for me. Tonight, we both put him to bed and he asked for Sam. Ha! He only cried for 10 minutes tonight, but it was absolutely heart wrenching. He broke me after 5 minutes last night and it took us like 5 tries over the next hour to get him to settle down. Ugh! The night before he ended up in the bed with us....little stinker! Please let this be a little phase. It's so hard to believe our little bear is about to turn 2! He's talking a lot now...in English mostly and a little Mandarin. He has a Mandarin teacher at school. New this week, Drew climbed out of his pack n play. We still use the pack n play when we are getting ready and need to corral Drew for a short amount of time. There went that short amount of time.....bummer. Drew is into Paw Patrol like his big brother now. So cute to watch them get excited when the show comes on and sing the theme song together. They both love listening to music and dancing. We caught him counting the other day. He knows 7, 8, 9, and 10. We'll have to work on 1-6. Ha! He is also attempting to say his ABCs. What smart little boy!
