Adlai at Two and a Half
Little Adlai, at two and a half, is completely adorable and overwhelmingly destructive. He gets into everything and loves to make a mess! It is especially fun to throw food! And toys! And chase the cats! He is exhausting only because, if you don't hear him chattering away, he is likely to be silently causing chaos. A few weeks ago we lost him for ten minutes only to discover him in the bathroom having emptied the toilet water into the trash can and filled the toilet with all of our bottles of lotion. Fun!
Here he is yesterday playing with me in the backyard with some Moon Sand:
(He falls at the end of the video but was not hurt and, in fact, insisted on watching the video over and over while laughing at himself.)
He has a real independent streak. Last week he went on a ride by himself at Great America and I only managed to get him off after he rode ten times in a row:
After exiting, he yelled, "I DID IT!"
It's a good thing he's cute.
