Poor Kaelan. He has only had two birthdays, and his mom neglected to blog both until a few months later, making the funny things that happened that day, the memorable experiences disappear through the mist of time. He turned two on May 1st. A great day!!
I will try my best to say the things that best describe the day and Kaelan at two.
I will try my best to say the things that best describe the day and Kaelan at two.
The following are my thoughts and observations of KK at two, so feel free to skip over to view the pics, if you aren't interested in reading about all of his behaviors and little quirks:
First off, he is SO MUCH fun! I think with each consecutive kid you start to enjoy your children more and more -- all of them. The stress starts to dwindle and the joy is multiplied!
Kaelan has my heart in his hands and makes me smile when he walks in the room.
He has the BEST kisses.
His daddy would do anything for him.
He LOVES, is OBSESSED with Cars. Not just any cars, the ones from the movie. They go where ever he goes in a little green backpack.
He has a doggie that he talks to everyday, and gives such great hugs to that it makes his mommy jealous of the stuffed dog.
He is SO independent and will play by himself for most of the day.
Kaelan.. what a daredevil!! He will try anything the looks dangerous.
He loves running and climbing and will go for hours, covering twice as much ground as the rest of us.
Trains are his second obsession, he plays with them nearly as much as he does the cars.
He needs his personal space and will demand it if necessary.
He loves Scooby Doo and will pretend that there are ghosts in the house.
He LOVES his brothers and wants to be with them all day long, doing what they are doing.
He loves binkies and will be truly upset when he has to give them up (I have been cluing him into it everyday)
Hair, Hair, Hair!!! That is all I can say. Hair is what he wants day and night. If mom is near then hers, if not, his own.
I get a kink in my neck most days from him grabbing my hair around for his hands to caress and play with.
He loves to play with all his toys behind the leather recliner, at the windowsill.
If you can't find Kaelan, check the loft. He will be up there with the cars, probably throwing them off the balcony. Watch out for flying cars!
He loves to get the mail with me, and takes the key to open it. Of course, he has to do it all by himself.
Did I mention cars? Yes, it even extends into the larger, more real, kind. He loves parking lots and will go up to all the cars and pat them and say "oooohhh, e-Car.... cool" He loves them all, he doesn't play favorites.
Oh, that reminds me... Whenever Kaelan wants something, or for you to see something, he simply inserts the hard "e" sound in front of whatever item he is focused on: e-book, e-juice, e-mom-mom, e-night-night, ... you get the picture.
A favorite past time for Kaelan is to go into the garage and request to just sit in the car, soaking up its wonderfulness.
He has an extremely bad binky bite, my first child to have one. SO sad. He sucks on it a weird way and pushes his top teeth out. Braces here we come.... hopefully the permanent don't follow suit.
He loves Starfall on the computer and knows all of his letters and their sounds, but will rotate through letter names throughout the day. Whenever he sees a letter, one day all letters will be "p" or "s". But, if you ask him which letter it is, he will tell you the right name straight off.
I love how he communicates. If I ask him if he would like to go outside, he will respond by saying the sentence backwards to me, like so: "Yes, outside, go, like..." With a definite pause between each word. Making sure that I understand what it is he is agreeing to.
He rarely says "no". Instead he says "uh uh" with attitude and the name of whatever he dislikes attached to it. "KK would you like some milk?" he responds "uh uh, milk, uh uh like milk" Its the same pattern for all refusals, he never varies. Except to say "No, Milk, uh uh!"
He loves baths, but not showers.
He likes to make his mom laugh and will do funny things all day for a smile.
When he is tired he will go glassy eyed and softly chant "mm mm mm mm"
He is a mommy's boy which I love, and will put up with any amount of kissing and hugging from me. He has no personal space with me, and will melt into me when he is tired. It is the best.
He is truly ambidextrous and his doctor is amazed that he really isn't showing a true handedness. She says that in 20 years she has never seen a kid be this truly ambidextrous this old, and thinks that he might end up staying that way. He uses both hands (and legs) equally for everything. We shall see. More than likely though, he will turn out to be left handed, because (from what I have read) most young ambidextrous children eventually choose the left, and most left-handers are ambidextrous. Interesting huh!
Kaelan loves sleep and takes 4 hour naps everyday. He will often put himself to sleep, and I will go looking for him and find him asleep in his bed!!
He doesn't like hats because they interfere with his hair fondling abilities.
He isn't afraid of ANY animal, and will even try to chase down wild deer or huge growling dogs. Which is kind of scary for mom.
He loves the outside, especially if brothers play with him.
He loves to pretend that he got your nose, and will "take" it off of you and put it on his own. (don't know where he got it from, actually)
He will eat anything, but swallowing is another matter. He will carry around food in his mouth for hours, and then finally decide he is done, but instead of swallowing, will spit it out. Especially if it is hard textured or has a skin, like apples, nuts, etc.
We call him Kaelan and KK, but he prefers KK and will refer to himself as KK.

I love you Kaelan Patrick Severson!!! Happy Birthday!!
BTW it is better if you click on the picture so it will blow up to a clearer, better viewing size.

Remi was with the family, it was so much fun to have her here to celebrate with us!!
After the Zoo, which was amazingly pretty empty, we went to Chevy's for dinner and present opening.
KK didn't know what to think about the crazy singers or the giant sombrero, but he definitely loved the dessert they plopped in front of him and he loved opening his presents!! Cars, Cars, and more Cars!!
IT was a day just for KK!!
