It never ceases to amaze me on how fast my son is learning to talk. At first he was very slow but now out of nowhere he is saying things I never knew he knew how to say. Like this morning he's trying to open the door to my room to go into the living room and he says, "daddy open the door" First time I ever heard him say that. I'm just amazed.

Oh yesterday was quite a evening. I had given my son a few Cheeto's on a plate for him to snack on. When he was done he asked me for more. I said no, he already had enough. Well he throws himself on the floor (which is rare but he's two so it's expected) and decides to throw a tempter tantrum. I looked at him and then just turned away. The tantrum lasted no more than 10 seconds. One thing I will NOT do is cater to his tantrums in order to get what he wants. When I say no, it means no. But I can see how a kid so small already is smart enough to test the system.

Well my son goes back with his mom in about 30 minutes. It's really hard to see him go. I grow more and more attached to him every time he stays with me. The bond that we have I can't even explain but it 100% love! I love my son sooooo much. He says today "daddy, I love you" To hear those words come out of my son's mouth is worth more than diamonds. I don't know if he is fully aware what the words mean but I tell him that all the time and I smother him with kisses.

I hate it that it is raining here in San Diego today. I wanted to go outdoors with my son but I wont take him out in this kind of weather.
