Our sweet Titus Jeffrey is TWO years old today. He's a strong lover, a fierce fighter, and a devoted brother. He adores Marcus and mimics everything his older brother does. While he's been a little more difficult to discipline than Marcus was/is, he's usually smiling, is so very funny, and he's pretty sharp when it comes to figuring things out. I joke with people that I color my hair for fun now, but Titus will be the reason I HAVE to color it to cover the grays, one day! He loves (and is pretty good at) baseball and plays daily. His current new baseball "thing" is wearing a sock on his hand as a batting glove. He eats all day, every day, and only takes a break from eating when he's in the tub or sleeping. He ate FOUR, yes four, pieces of pizza last night for supper and when we got home just over an hour later he said, "I need some-pin to eat, Mama." He's not too picky, but is starting to deny SOME foods, but not many.
Being just over 3 weeks away from delivering a baby, I did not feel up to having a party for him. Don't hate me. He's two. It's not like he'll remember anyway. BUT!... we did do some fun birthday activities with him to make up for it. Today we took him to Asheville's Fun Depot and let him choose games to play and activities to do. He also got to pick out a toy of his choice at our favorite toy store, The Toy Box. Much to the owners' dismay, he chose a $7 school bus, but I was super happy with such an inexpensive choice! Marcus enjoyed Titus' birthday as well since he, too, got to play for well over an hour. They both played a mini-bowling game and went bonkers in the soft play jungle gym area. We finished our day off eating supper at "She-Duh's!" aka-Yoshida's Express, which again, is one of his favorites (and let's get real - mine, too). When we got home, we all snuggled up on the bed in the basement and watched the final innings of the Braves day game (and they won!) before putting him to bed early. He crashed and hasn't made a sound since.
Titus Jeffery, you are one loved child. Your daddy, brother, and I adore you and are so glad you joined our family two years ago. We pray that your tenacious personality and hard head will help you fend off sin and chose righteousness in your walk with the Lord. It's amazing that you already can say the first 10 books of the Bible and you beg for Marcus to read it to you. But it's not enough to just know and believe. Even the demons believe and shutter in the knowledge of God. It takes a personal relationship with our savior, Jesus Christ, to truly be saved. That is your daddy's and my #1 prayer for yours and Marcus' life. 3 John 1:4 says, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth," and that is absolutely how we feel. We pray this over your life now and will continue to do so as you grow (and boy, are you growing at a rapid rate!). We love you, Titus!!! <3
*Update*
I forgot to write a few "Titus-isms." Here they are. :)
- Dis is Mommy? (What is this, Mommy?)
- Mommy, hode (hold) you.
- My (I) do it!
- Names for Marchs: Mah-Cuss!!! and Bubba
- Ba-ket-ball = basketball
-Where Daddy doh (go)?
-Wa-Did = water
Also, we took him for his 2 year old well visit and everything checked out beautifully. He's tall, a good weight, and has an enormous head circumference for his age. Marcus came with us and when Titus got ONE shot, they both cried...for a very long time. Sweet Marcus loves his brothers and hurts when he hurts. We love these boys, so!
