Eli at 2

Our little Buster is 2. I've been thinking about writing this blog post for a few days and it really is difficult to capture this little guy with words. He is such a goofball and loves to make his brother laugh. But when we are around other people he is pretty reserved and gives people the stink-eye. He has no fear and loves to climb things and walk down stairs without holding on to the railing. He gives Haddie more kisses and hugs in a day than anyone. He adores his brother and likes to copy everything he does. But then once things are going a little too smoothly, he usually tries to do things to make Eli crazy. He is the sweetest boy most of the time. When he's mad, you can just see that injustice he feels- like the world is against him. My sister-in-law Erin has said many times that Micah is a perfect middle child. He loves to play ball and likes to dance when he hears fun music. He isn't a great eater, but has a strong sweet tooth. He loves to play a game with mom when I'll ask him for a kiss or hug, he grins adorably and says "NO" and then I tickle him. He is extremely stubborn. When he talks about animals he refers to them by the sound they make instead of their name (which he can also say but chooses not to). He calls boots "boops", Haddie "baby", the color red is "Paw Patrol" (every time and he can not be convinced otherwise), ice cream is a "slurp" sound (no word), and his monkey that he sleeps with has a monkey-sound name (also not a word). He tells this same story that involves his Papa wearing a hat, riding a horse, and having a cow. None of these really fits with either of his papas. He can be an independent player at home, but if we go to church for something he doesn't want to be separated from his brother. He is mischievous and isn't as "naturally obedient" as Eli was at this age. If the line hasn't been drawn yet (in terms of boundaries or expectations) he will for sure test it out. He desperately wants to be heard and acknowledged all the time. Our prayer for this little guy is that he will grow to have a passion for his Lord and live his life radically for Him. We love you SO much, Micah!
