On the eve of three…

Three full years of memories we have made, and yet I know there is so much already forgotten. I always wish I would record more, write down more, blog more so that I can keep and have and bring back each day, each moment, each smile, laugh, or thought. Time goes by and I forget, and now here you are, your very last day of being two, and I wonder of all the things that have already been forgotten.

Two held such wonder and achievement from you, from baby to boy for sure. You developed into such a marvelous little man, with your own voice and opinions, your own way of achieving goals, playing games, and daily routines. We continued to see the tender hearted, sweet and well behaved boy that we’ve always known. No, there were no terrible two’s from you, moments of frustration, sure, but even those were few and far between. At the beginning of this year you gave up nursing, and I feared loosing that special bond we shared, I look back now and see how silly that fear was. You are my son, my sidekick, my best bud. Together we make a pretty good duo, if I do say so myself.

Two has been the best year so far, and I know I’ll feel the same about three. Each year, month, week, day, hour, even second spent being your mommy just gets better and better.

So to you little man, on the eve of turning three, thank you. Thank you for showing me life’s master plan, for making me mom, the greatest gift on earth. I love you with every single ounce of me and then some.

** And now a moment to record so as not to be forgotten….

This afternoon we were talking about dinner, and I said to you how we should be silly and make breakfast for dinner, biscuits and gravy, bacon and eggs!! You were very excited and thought it was a great idea. I mentioned that we should ask Daddy, “He might say it’s a crazy idea and there is no way we can have breakfast for dinner!!” I said.

And you replied “Well, that would hurt my feelings, it would just break my heart”.

Tender-hearted indeed.

So breakfast for dinner we made, and you ate it all up!!
