Leland Neil aka LeeLee is TWO

~"I Two!" is what Leland will tell you when you ask how old he is.
~During phone calls he first says, "Happy Birthday", since everyone has been singing Happy Birthday to him lately.~"Wait Me"...I hear this more and more. Leaving the Wellness Center mostly. Kaden and Leland love to hear the echo inside the double set of doors.
~LOVES trucks & cars
~Knows the alphabet song and is quickly learning his colors.
~He can count to 12.~Has taken over my iPhone. Matching Toy Story, ABC Pop, Super Why, Animal Faces are a few of his favorites
~Is really into labeling things- Momma's car, Kaden's shirt, Da's cows.
~Leland is talking in sentences.
~Really likes taking a bath and requests one multiple times daily!
~Favorite cartoons are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins, Diego, and Wild Krats.
~Leland loves to play. He is just fine driving a truck over a rough terrain for hours or playing cows with Kaden.~He's such a sweet boy!
~Favorite car game - Bubble Gum (His version, "Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum. How many pieces, Daddy?".
~Leland's response to I love you Leland Neil is, "No, my name not Leland Neil. My name LeeLee."!
~His manners are coming along. When he is ready for food, his manners are super!
~He needs a constant reminder to not yell at brother.

Leland turned two on Friday, March 23, 2012. He is a handful! We had a fun day. We started off at the Wellness Center (which means 1.5 hours of tv for my boys). Then we needed to go register Kaden for his PreK class. Leland requested ChickFilA for lunch and there we bumped into our good friends from church! The Raymonds had invited us over for supper and we make cupcakes and ice cream for dessert! It was a fun day.

Two days later Leland and I got to visit the ER. Leland went to bed coughing on Suday night and Monday morning at 2am we headed to the ER. The poor boy had croup. We are thankful the sun was out while we were homebound.
