Prisoners Of Winter- Kriegers in Alaska: Konrads Birthday

Konrad....hm
Well I want Konrad to know what he was like when he was 2 years old. So here is a bit of info about our son, or as we call him lil man.

In the beginning we called him grandpa man, he looked like a baby and he looked like an old man. He had white hair and a wrinkle crossed his noes between his eyes. He was also Mr. Serious in the beginning for a little while, but as the gassy stage left the true happy, goofy, crazy, fun, loving guy submerged.

Konrad was a snuggler from birth and loves to be in a ball.. He is a stomach sleeper and loves to stick his bum in the air with his arms as a pillow. He looks so adorable when he sleeps like this.

He curls right into just about anybody. He is my lover and is just fine kissing me on the lips and hugging me for long periods of time. He loves to try to sneak into our bed and try to cuddle with someone warm all night...in a ball.

He also loves to put his arm behind his head and just chill...and he is fine chilling like that for a while.

The dude is a goof ball. He loves to run silly, walk silly, make silly faces and sounds. He makes us laugh daily with his fun personality. We never know what to expect next.

Konrad is a tease...I think that passed down from his papis. He loves to tease and be teased...but beware he will tease you back. Sometimes I tease that I will eat him for dinner and next thing I know at some random time he tries to eat my toe, but ouch it hurts!

He loves stuffed animals, animals, dogs especially, and his stuffed animal dog is his favorite. He went through a faze where cows scared him tho.

He loves soft things, silky material, fur, skin.... and he will stroke it for a long time. Sometimes he likes to stroke dady and momys hair and it is sweet.

Konrad is a bit violent, but he is never out to hurt anyone (except his sister, or anyone taking his toy)...he just um, well, we call him our little destroyer. He pulls things apart, breaks things, finds some other random way to destroy something just about daily. This is all done from his curiosity, I hope this actually leads to knowledge in his future...just to make it worth it. Katy sometimes has to deal with him destroying her toys.

Konrad loves bugs. He likes to try to pick up the ants, catch the fly, or poke the spider.

Konrad is good at shapes and blocks...but can not seem to grasp colors. Everything is RED or BUE. He is also the crayon peeler, no need to color when you can pick something a part.

He likes puzzles. He loves bubbles and balloons. He isn't huge into balls, sports stuff, cars, trucks, dinosaurs, dragons...those things that are sometimes labeled boy. He likes them...but that isn't something he is so into or does constantly. He really is content doing a lot of different things. He doesn't get stuck on one thing. He loves to play with toys and is fine playing contently by himself.

Although he is rather social and will go up to just about anyone and win them over. He loves to find older boys to hang around.

He loves babies and is so gentle with them. He likes to play with dolls, yes, and he is a good dady to his dolls. He also loves to be around any real baby and smiles and tries to coo as he sees adults do.

Konrad does NOT like to be cold...cold water is not his favorite. He is also a little on the colder side always, like his mom.

Konrad didn't like babyfood because he wanted to do everything himself...now just imagine that in a 2 year old and x that by some. No I do...a frase that is getting more and more familiar.

Konrad loves books. If anyone is reading he will find a spot nearby to listen and watch...if it is not a kids book he will go grab a kids book and pretend to read with you.

Konrad loves to be outside.

He loves to ride his bike, ever since dad got his bike.

He does first and thinks about it later. He is not the hesitant type for sure.

Konrads favorite foods are anything with lots of carbs and sugar. If you put the two together, EVEN better! He always wants chocolate milk. He loves bananas and monkeys. He can shove a whole banana in his mouth and still have room to eat it...he might just swallow.

Konrad will tell you he is NOT 2, he is BIG.

He loves to stay up at night. It is always a fight to get him to sleep.

He loves to pinch his sister. Sister usually deserves it and visa versa.

He is a sharer, but that is only if it is yours in his mind. He knows what is yours, the other kids...if you mix that up he will be very concerned and have a little fit...even if it doesn't even concern him or his toy. MINE is his favorite word, second is NO....that could be every toddler, but more so him I am sure.

He loves techno music, (trans Siberian he rocked out to at Christmas) and music for kids. His favorite songs right now are wheels on the Bus and SunBEAM!

He loves stroller rides.

Right now he is wired, it is 10pm, he is running in a circle with his sunglasses and then going back and forth from his room to dads backpack by the front door...doing all sorts of things that a goof ball does with sunglasses. Now he is trying to take a part dadys backpack. He loves to stick his belly out and head forward with feet following and his arms all the way back...running in a very peculiar way. Like I said GOOFBALL.

Happy Birthday to my little Goof, We love you just the way you are!!!
