Two years old is my second favorite age for children (for the record, four months old is my favorite). Casper is still a month shy of the magical TWO, but he is full of all the two year old charm and cleverness, and the language explosion that happens around this time is starting. His favorite sentence is, "I do it!" and he wants to do everything himself -- buckling into the car seat, getting clothes and shoes on/off, even going potty in the potty on occasion. He's so proud of all these accomplishments.
He's talking in full sentences all the time and even Linus and Gwendolyn can easily understand him. Even if he could get his point across in a single word, he goes for the full sentence, "More grapes, please Mama."
Most impressive to me was when he was recently explaining a movement to a new song he'd learned at church. He told us: "This is my arm -- watch -- hamm[er]ing," then hit his fist into his open palm.
And just so no one thinks he is always a great communicator, when he isn't understood the first time he tells you something, or if you don't immediately respond to a request, he resorts to shrieking (or, if you happen to be Linus, biting).
I'm enjoying him so much right now. Also, damn is he ever cute!

Oh my goodness! Phoebe is doing the same thing! "No, I do it" is quite a favorite in our house too, especially when she is brushing her teeth.
