Callan has taken to making faces at the camera and it is occaisonally hard to deal with his goofiness. I have often extolled the value of 'choosing your battles' as a parent, but lately with Callan it seems that whether at the dinner table, in the car, at church, in bed, infront of the camera, or just about anywhere else, he has to be a goof. Sometimes it is difficult to remember that he is only two, and that while he is certainly becoming more capable of certain unsavory adult behaviors like sarcasm and manipulation, for the most part he is just a two year old little person learning how to communicate what he wants, how to express what he is feeling, and how to react to unmet expectations. When I can remember that, it is much easier to deal with dinner tossed on the floor, or a tantrum at the grocery store, or an occasional refusal to brush teeth.
