Owen is sick. He woke up at about 2am last night throwing up and continued to do so till about 10am today. Then he ate some toast and drank some water and is napping. If you've never been covered in your child's vomit, you should try it. It's great fun. ;-)
Otherwise, things have been going well in Owen's World. He is now 21 months old, getting his second molars, and seems to be spurting again finally! He's finally outgrowing those 18-month clothes!
He loves daycare now and usually uses the terms "play", "friends" and "fun" in association with it. He is learning several new words per day and is really testing my vocabulary as I try to come up with new words every day to teach him! He says three-word sentences but hasn't figured out the 'connecting words' yet. But he gets his points across. For example, instead of saying "where did my blanket go?" he says "owen's blanket go?"
He is 110% boy. He loves 'things that go' still. He is obsessed with crashes. His favorite animals are spiders, sharks and dinosaurs, if you'd count that as an animal! There is a barn near our house where Owen claims that a zebra, dinosaur and mouse live. Sounds scary to me!
He is starting to go through a clingy and crabby phase. He clings to me for dear life when we first get somewhere, even if we've been there before. And he's not a good sharer anymore, although this is to be expected of a 2 year old. They have to live in their own selfish world through the two's before they can begin to think about others. But it makes for some interesting debacles with his friends and random kids. He always wants to "have it!", it always seems to be "owen's turn" and of course everything is "mine!"
