Trystan James Swindall turns Two!

[Gladhatter]

One of my son's favorite words currently is TWO! Reason for them is he has learned that that is twice as many "baby medicines" Aka sweet tarts from those little rolls as one is when he points to his hand and has that "owie" come up from no appearnt place at all but needs it treated right away with some "medicine". Of course an occassional Halls honey lemon cough drop does keep the Dr. away as well and he has learned to put a finger to the mouth and say "shooooo" as in don't tell Mommy when he gets this special medicine from Daddy. In fact he has learned enough words to get about every thing he wishes for that is not unhealty for him and is blessed with the WORLDS GREATEST MOMMY that researches every thing down to a science and then applies that sense that God gives only to such Mommy's to sort out when one conflicts with another and to say he has had a sick day in the two years he will have been on this earth come Monday March 23rd tomorrow would be to stretch it a bit but he has not felt well a couple of days at all but not a full blown sick day what so ever and for this we are blessed.

Now most generally I am up working now not as this morning when I went to bed with the chickens and got up for my day but generally am still working another half hour from now. So to say " They will change you" as a dear friend told me before he was born, has taken on possibly part of the new meaning I did not start to understand at the time. I guess you can say it changed Mommy as well as you do not see her on here due to if she has a free moment it is to research what to expect next from him and how to be prepared for it and how to worry if he is eating enough of sleeping enough and all the things a first time doating mother will worry about. I guess we are both a bit amazed at just how resilient the little man is.

I had an oppertunity to allow him a bit of social time today at a small park for less than an hour as he rarely gets to interact with other Children and then as I helped some stranger that needed a boost to get going, Dalia took him back there again. She was so proud as some other little man there just a few days older fell and Trystan ran to him to help him up. I am not sure that all of kindness is learned or part of it is inbreed.

What I am sure of is if this little man is not part monkey then he is from the flying Walinda's ancestory or such as he sure is a climber. I know that maybe a Daddy may be a little bit prejudice as well and possibly a shade proud but to be honest I am more proud of his personality than anything but it sure is an ego booster that every time you take him out that all the girls of every age swoon over him and all remark how he is pretty enough to be a girl himself. It gets almost embarrassing when he is around other parents and children and some old cashier picks him out of the crowd to brag about how hansome, cute or pretty he is but I guess if you got it then flaunt it is all I can say.

That boy has the pretty of his Mommy for sure and possibly that good meaness of his Daddy that I would prefer to call mischief.

Well yes come Monday, he will be the big 2 and while he is entering the terrible 2's at that I can honestly say ( So Far anyway) he has been such a good child that even his terrible tanturm bought are not all that terrible at all. Yes I am fully admiting now I am just a prejudice Daddy here and a man that would have a far worse looking belly sticking out if this little man did not make my chest jut out just a few inches more than it normally does.

So there will be photos and updates to come but in the mean time I wish to show you some raw unedited just natural as they come couple of shots of the love of my life, the apple of my eye and my reason for getting up at 2 Am to start my work day.

Ok maybe more than a couple
