Two Boys Age Two

[the photo is one that Noi took on her cell phone - it's one of my favorites!]

My mom, Grandma Julie, has written Prior and Mason several books. Some she's made herself and others she's had bound through shutterfly. They are really cool books. And I'm not just saying that because she wrote them.  I think she should publish some of her children's books. 

The book she wrote for their 2nd birthday is one of my favorites (and the boys') and I can't help but share it here.  Of course she had pictures to go along with each of the verses so it's not the full effect, but you'll get the idea.

I am easily annoyed when people (and this happens a lot) misuse the word "to", "too", and "two" when writing. Hopefully the boys will learn the difference at an early age!

Two Boys Age Two

TWO boys age TWO are ready TO go

and can get ready for TOO much snow

TWO boys age TWO can make a big sound

and in the pool can swim around!

Prior and Mason, TWO TWO year old boys,

have TOO much fun with all sorts of toys

TWO boys age TWO can play and share

and are TOO happy without a care.

TWO boys age TWO like to pretend with a yelp

The love TO lend a hand and help

TWO boys age TWO can act as silly as a nut!

These TWO age TWO get a salon hair cut.

TWO boys age TWO are big Hawkeye fans

and TWO fans of natural food, not from cans.

They love their books on grandma's lap

but TWO boys age TWO still need TO nap.

TWO boys age TWO

Are on the run

TOO smart

TOO sweet

TOO silly

TOO fun

TWO perfect boys, TOO!
