The Best Two Year Old Ever

Most people think that Dallen looks just like his daddy, and while they are sort of right, there are definitely a few things he inherited from me: his chubby cheeks, his high energy, his ears and unfortunately he got my teeth!! On Tuesday we had to take Dallen to the dentist to get a cavity filled!! I am certain that this will be the first of many so I am so grateful he sat perfectly still without having to be sedated, and kept his mouth wide open while the dentist fixed his tooth. The dentist told me that Dallen was "the best 2 year old they've ever seen". And I would have to agree!! Lately Dallen has been absolutely endearing. The other day while we were hiding under a blanket he looked over at me and said "you're beautiful Mom". Of course, there are moments when he is not completely sweet but almost immediately stops me from yelling at him when I give him the 'Mom is angry' look, by saying "Look Mom, I'm smiling, I'm nice now, it's ok, I'm smiling" :) The other day, he shut the door in my face and when he heard me sigh "awww" he opened the door and put his arm around my neck and in the sweetest voice said "What's wrong? What happened? What's wrong Mom?" He loves to have his picture taken now, which of course I just love! And he loves to take pictures too, he's learned from me obviously when he holds up his hand and shakes it and says "look over here; look at me; look up here"!! Every day is filled with some of the sweetest moments that I hope I always remember. So yes Mr. Dentist, he is the best 2 year old I have ever seen!! If only he could just stay this way forever :)
