Long Sentences

Parker has always been a talker, but we have realized lately that he is putting together some LONG sentences - without any help from us.  Here are some examples...

"Daddy, when you get home, I will show you my parade."
"When you come visit the firestation, I will give you a ride on the firetruck."

Isn't that crazy?  Conversing with him is so fun!  He has also been singing a lot lately.  He has a little prayer doll in his bed that he has recently named Simon.  He tucks Simon in every night, and sometimes sings him Jesus Loves Me followed by the Prayer of Jabez song.  (We have sung both of these to him every night since birth pretty much).  He also know all the words to the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Twinkle Twinkle, the ABC's, Rat-a-tat-tat, God is so Good, and several more.  Listening to a two year old sing is just so sweet.  His little voice brings me so much joy!  And it's cool to know that it is pleasing to his heavenly Father as well.

I've mentioned this several times before, but the kid LOVES parades.  He's recently taken them to a new level.  They are getting incredibly long, and he usually asks us not to put them away at night so he can play with them right away in the morning again.  This particular parade includes every pair of shoes he could find, some vitamins, a calculator and lots of letters.

We had a good time with playdoh a while ago, too.

His imagination is incredible.  He can turn anything into a tractor or combine, the pillows on the couch are horses (most of them named Jane, like Uncle Bill's horse), and he is always pretending to make and bring us food.  He likes to sit behind the cushions of the couch and read, too.  Today he was reading a book I borrowed from my dad.  He read it as "Papa's book, Papa's book."

Knock on wood, so far, two has been terrific =)
