Two years old.

Wyatt you turn two on Saturday and I can’t believe it. It feels like yesterday you were just a little peanut in my arms. You look like such a little man now. You and Dad are very close and you are favoring him a bit lately, but, that’s ok with me because I know you go back and forth, and I also know that when you are in need, you always reach for me.
We are having a small party for you Friday night, with Dina, Dave & Dylan and your Nanny Chris and some of her kids. Chris’ husband died a week ago very suddenly. He was 37, Chris is crushed and we are hoping you and Dylan can bring some light into her life. I really hope you don’t pull away from her and instead pull out all the stops.
Life around the house has been fun, it is exhausting to chase you around all day, but, the absolute most wonderful thing in the world. Even when you have a temper tantrum, and you do whenever you can’t have your way. The tantrums don’t last long and they aren’t that bad actually, but, you can let everyone know when you aren’t happy. Your vocabulary gets bigger everyday and it’ so fun to hear your new words, shoes, dog, watermelon, strawberry.
Well we had the party for you Friday and you had a ball! You got some great gifts and loved your Elmo themed party. You did all the right things with Nanny Chris and the girls. As usual you ate your birthday cake with gusto. On Saturday we went to Cousin Stacey’s fourth of July party and you got to see your cousins you don’t see very often and Granny and everyone else. You swam in the pool and played in the sandbox and spent time in the swing with Uncle Joe – a great time was had by all.
It’s amazing to me still how much I love you, how absolutely in love with you I am and how happy I am to see you no matter what time it is, no matter what mood I am, no matter how early it is. Wyatt my dear sweet son, I love you so much and will never be able to thank you enough for all you have given to me.
