People always say how time goes by so quickly with children. They remind us, as parents to savor the moments. I have found that while this is true, it doesn't help slow the time down.
So here we are... age 2... and I am having a hard time emotionally letting go of this first year because you are supposed to be my baby girl. I can hardly believe you turn two today! And rest assured I will be saying this for every birthday you have for the rest of your life, so you might have to get used it ;) I love witnessing your little life. I love how our relationship has changed and I love seeing my love for you reciprocated with your words and actions versus cries for being nursed or simply a diaper change. Its an incredible gift.
You entered age 1 walking and you are finishing it in a full run. You are moving through life at rocket speed. This last year it has been such fun to watch you grow into your personality.You are fearless,fiercely independent, thoroughly impish and full of happiness and sunshine. My most precious moments are your hugs: when you rest your head on my stomach before bedtime and when you share your meals with your teddy, your elphy, your frog....the list goes on and on.... Its in these small gestures I know that you are tender and gentle and I can't wait to see that part of you grow.
You know what you want and will demand it until you get it even if it takes a bit of foot stomping or whining. You don't always win though... sometimes I get to be the mom !!! You are a girly girl who loves dressing up, loves to pose in front of the camera and loves to sleep with her teddy ;) I hope I can always guide you in the right direction.. I hope I allow you enough freedom to be able to make your own decisions.
Happy 2nd birthday sweetheart !!! God bless you my little angel :)
