The Many Faces of Casey

I guess being 21 months old is a very complex time in someone's life. Or, at least, that's what you might be led to believe after looking at this sampling of recent photos of Casey...




The "It's Monday Morning and I Don't Want to be Bothered" Face








The "Uh-Oh" Face








The "Elmo's World Induced Trance" Face








I would love dearly to post the "Happiest Boy in the World" face, but it seems that part of the complexity of being 21 months requires that you no longer make that face in front of a camera. Other interesting behavioral phenomenon are presenting themselves, such as the desire to simultaniously be doing something and not doing something. For example, Casey will desperately want to sit in your lap and not sit in your lap - AT THE SAME TIME! I have to tell you from experience this is a very difficult task to accomplish. But don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of simple things that make this 21 month old boy very happy. Fresh strawberries, chasing his best friend Abby, and kisses from Ani are a few examples. Simple pleasures for a complex boy.

I think that you have really captured the essence of being a 2 year old. A struggle between independence and wanting to stay a baby. It is so hard for us and them!
