Over the past month or so, we’ve noticed Braden has slowly phased out of his Terrible Twos, which he actually started around 18 months (he’s now 28 months old). One way we’ve ‘measured’ this is by how few timeouts we have to give him now. In fact, we can only think of one in the past month.

It also helps that we’ve recognized Braden’s independence. He likes to do things such as  sit in a regular chair at the dinner table and as previously mentioned, pick out his own clothes in the morning. Speaking of the former, he has not sat in his high chair at our house in several weeks; in fact, we’re thinking of packing it up.

Braden’s ability to form sentences is amazing. For instance, today he used the word “too,” which we didn’t realize he knew. He still understands more than he can express–the other day, he was saying something garbly that we couldn’t understand.

He’s slightly better at recognizing colors but still has trouble from time to time. However, he can recognize most objects, as evidenced when he correctly picks them out from one of his books.

Braden also like to sing. He’s know the Alphabet Song, and he’ll often use the tune with other words.
