2.5 years!

I just realized that Deven is 2.5 exactly today!  So I thought it would be a good time to give a general update on all things Deven.
Height: just shy of 3 feet
Weight: about 29 lbs if I can get him to stand still long enough
Likes: order depends on the second of the day you ask him...
* hockey - with his hockey pants on (aka snow pants)
* guitar
* singing into the guitar stand while playing the guitar
* macaroni - any kind, but white cheese with crispy Parmesan on top seems to be an all time fav
* all things trains and to Nick's dismay Thomas Train makes the top of that list
* books - loves getting new ones both at the book store and at the library.  We find him reading by himself in his reading corner frequently.
* running - more like a fast paced walk but according to Deven he IS a runner!
Dislikes:
* listening with his listening ears
* losing choices when he doesn't listen with his listening ears
* using the potty when he is in the middle of a project (aka most of the time)
Deven is a fire cracker of a two and a half year old. He generally knows what he wants and how to get it (ask momma).   He has had a particular attachment to me lately, which is pretty cool most of the time but after a while it would be nice to share all the attention with Nick...specifically when his diaper needs to be changed.
Deven has a seriously vivid imagination and shares it with anyone who will listen.  Most days we all have a blast.  I would say its 80:20 on excellent verses difficult to remember why we thought it would be a good idea to have kids.  Who knows maybe it's just because I can't have my glass of recovery red after the bed time routine right now...but something tells me even those parents not night cap challenged have a rough go with a 2.5 year old at least some of the time.  Besides, Christmas frangos seem to be an excellent supplement!
I should have included making videos of himself as part of his likes, so in honor of that we've post his most recent debut in the next post!  Enjoy!!
