Two Years

Samuel is two years old today. Can you believe it? I can’t!

The 2nd birthday is harder for me than the first….they’re still babies at one. I wish I could explain what it is about this 2nd year that’s so difficult for me. Maybe it’s the ever growing independence, or the dramatic change in facial features.

Today marks two years of mothering this sweet and rambuctious little boy. Two years of nursing, babywearing, watching him sleep, and smothering him with hugs and kisses. I love him so much!

He’s developed a serious love for trucks,(dump and fire trucks seem to be his favorite) trains, and most recently, dinosaurs. This is one of his favorite songs, and this is one of his favorite videos.

He’s grown and changed so much this past year. I’ve really enjoyed watching his personality develop over these two years. Shy, but also out-going. Sometimes demanding, and so so very happy. I love his laugh, his smile, and those big brown eyes. I love hearing mama come from that little voice and person….even when he calls me 20 times.

He doesn’t eat cake or ice cream, so we’ll probably do popsicles. He loves chicken…and I’m sure we can arrange a chicken dinner for him. Later today we’ll head to the library for him to pick out some books and videos on trucks and trains…later on, we have a Thomas the Train set waiting for him to open when Charles gets off tonight.
