Two. What a marvelous age!
This little monkey man is at the stage most would call “handful.”
How’s that?
Well, let’s just say I discovered this week that he has the amazing ability to turn a bottle of glue into a 35-ft trail across the house… in all of about 30 seconds. Maybe he needed the trail...

Once upon a time there were three pairs of jeans.
