Bode is now 18 months old. It's hard to believe that he is that old now when he still seems so little to me. But his personality is definitely that of an 18 month old. He is about as stubborn and independent as a toddler comes. There are many times where Bode and I get into a "who is more stubborn" battle and most of the time he wins because I just can't take the screaming. One example of these battles is when he asks for his sippy and I go and get it out of the fridge, he will not just take it out of my hands. I have to put it down on the ground and walk away and he has to be able to pick it up himself. Drives me insane but whatever. He wants to do everything for himself and thinks he can do anything and everything his big siblings can do. Dinner time has become quite an event because he wants to sit in a chair like everybody else and he has to feed himself so I have had to give up my OCD and just remember that I can clean it up and he can always get a bath and his clothes can be washed.
On the other side of Bode has become such a funny little boy and has really come into his own personality. He has lots to say even if half the time I don't understand a word he is saying, he still has to say it. He also loves to dance and sing. He also loves to tackle. He adores his big brother and big sister and they both love him. I feel so blessed to have 3 kids that seem to get along really well. I know that might not always be the case but for now I'm enjoying it.
Bode is officially in nursery now which I'm super excited for. He has made going to church really hard. Mostly because there was a rarity that Kyle or I got to sit through a whole meeting. He didn't love going but once he calmed down he seemed to really enjoy it. I went and checked on him once and he was eating his snack and it got me a little choked up. He looked like such a big boy sitting there with all of his friends.
We really love this little boy and we are so glad that he was sent to our family!
