Rowboat is 20-months old! Since he loves to laugh and play games, I figured he would appreciate this nod to one of the games my sister and I would play on long road trips.
1. Is it no longer talking in a long-forgotten Bulgarian dialect?
2. Does it shock you daily by saying a growing number of distinguishable words in it's native tongue?
3. Does it shove things it doesn't want (i.e. food, toys, diapers, clothes) away with the back of it's hand because it is so disgusted by whatever is offered it can't even palm it away?
4. Does it talk excitedly about cars and trains 2-3 hours a day?
5. Does it spend 3/4 of it's waking hours playing basketball?
6. Does it's current hierarchy to things loved go as follows: baseball, football, basketball, Ky-ky, cheese?
7. Would you say it's daily diet is comprised of 60% cheese?
8. Is it finally eating a good variety of fruits and vegetables regardless of it's excessive consumption of cheese?
9. Has it eaten dad's world famous homemade guacamole (pip aka dip) for dinner three nights this week?
10. Can it entertain itself with happy sound effects, animation, and some form of imaginary dialogue between toys for about 30 minutes at a time?
11. Are tantrums mercifully on a decline now that it's intellectual abilities are skyrocketing?
12. Did it go pee-pee in the potty for the first time all by itself today?
13. Did it also miss the toilet a bit and pee on mom's knee?
14. Will it still probably be a long time before it goes to the bathroom on it's own and doesn't subject it's mom to pinning a screaming creature down to wipe poop off it's tush?
15. Are it's current favorite stories Once Upon a Potty, Jungle Book, The Tushy Book, Skunk Dunk, and Things that Go?
16. If you ask it what color of something it wants, does it always request 'blue' even if it means another color?
17. Is it the sweetest thing to ever walk the planet and plants kisses on you and it's baby sister every hour?
18. Does it ever make you want to cry when you look at it because it is So. Darn. Handsome?
19. Are you not-so-secretly jealous of it's perfect hair that somehow grows in with perfect layers, waves, and highlights?
20. Do you love this thing more and more everyday and are continually convinced you are the most blessed person alive to have it as your own?
Answer Key to Questions 1-20: Yes
Bonus Questions:
21. Does it refer to itself as "Row row"
22. Does it say "Curse!" when it misses a basket (I think this is because I always say "so close" but the idea that he is saying a "curse" word is hilarious)
23. Does he throw his hands up at the end of a prayer every time and say "MEN!"
24. Does it want to read itself a story at bedtime and have it's parents sit on the floor?

| Turns out the offspring of Angela and Dwight from the office looks a lot like Rowan. |
 |
| He was so spoiled at my aunts house this year for Easter. Both Mimi & Papa and his great aunts loaded him up with gifts and chocolate. They were both kind enough to not overwhelm the addict with a massive dose and instead gave other great new loves: chalk, Frog Bear, cars/trucks, and finger paint. He LOVED the Easter egg hunts they planned. HE's one lucky, loved little kid. |
