Is It Me?

Grant either does not like Justin Bieber's songs or my singing.  Either way, Grant is a rough critic even at 26 months old.

Grant is not as easy as TJ was as a toddler and his moods are as fiery as his hair.  He's sweet and lovable one minute and a holy terror the next.  As I tell people, when TJ was Grant's age he was a prince.  Grant?  Prince of darkness.  If there is something you do not want him to get into then you better make sure it is hidden, tied down, and behind a locked door.

Especially your vacuum - but that's another story.

But Grant has a great giggle and loves to rough house.  Tossing him on the bed and piggie-back rides illicit cries of, "Gag-in!"  Having these two boys slow close together you can really appreciate that no two children are alike.

Grant is clearly head of TJ in speech, comprehension, and motor skills at the same age.  Without a degree in child psychology I would assume it's because he sees TJ on the scooter, reading, riding bikes, playing games and Grant naturally assumes he can do it too.  Monkey see, monkey do.

We love Grant because he isn't predisposed to either parent's demeanor.  He's too loud to be more Lisa and too adorable to be more me.  He is truly one of a kind...

And a heck of a critic!
