Happy 23 Month Birthday, David!

David Roxyann Gould,

That's what your Sister calls you when she's disciplining you. Which is frequently. Seriously, everyone disciplines you, all the damn time.

We have rounded a corner though. You're not JUST a terror. You're also a brilliant, loving boy.

I realize people are supposed to think their kids are smart, but David, you are brilliant. You are scary smart. At 23-months you're more advanced than some of the kids in Violet's class at school - and that is not an exaggeration.

You've started saying words like, "didgeridoo." I don't think most people even know what a didgeridoo is.

If you want something, you get it. If we say, "no," you figure out a way to manipulate us into giving it to you, or you get it yourself.

I'm not talking normal kid manipulation.

Also, you are obsessed with Spiderman - which is appropriate, because you can scale any surface.

You also do some less-than-intelligent things. Like how you know you're not supposed to touch razors...so if you see one, you grab it and immediately stick it in your mouth and start scraping your tongue.

It is scary and weird and please stop.


You've started to become more cuddly. And you're going through a phase where you love your Mommy (and your Mommy loves that).

You love your "Sissy" more than anyone in the world. You look for her when she's not around, you ask about her, you want to do everything she does. It melts our hearts, kid.

Mommy and Daddy
