Hey little sweetheart, happy 2nd birthday. I can't believe how grown up you are. I wish I could freeze time and keep you just like this. I know soon enough you will be rolling your eyes at my hugs. I am so grateful for your sweet spirit. At 2 years old you already know your ABCs and how to count to 15 or 16, sometimes you even get to 17 before you start at 13 again. Your daddy and I know that you are brilliant. You want to understand the world around you and you want to do it on your own. Most of the time when daddy or I tell you not to do something, you do it anyway. We know you aren't being naughty (usually) but you just want to know for yourself if the candle really is hot. You have so much energy and you devote it to exploring at full speed. If I had a dollar for every mess you have made so far, I would buy an island and a private plane to get me there.
Along with your need to learn, you also have an insaitiable need to love and be loved. Every morning I wake up to your sweet little arms around my neck and a kiss. Then you say, "Wake up, mommy! I hungry!" and you grab my hand and take me to the kitchen. I am not a morning person, but I love waking up to your unconditional love. You always give me hugs and kisses when you make a mess or I get frustrated. A lot of times I just get kisses for no reason at all. You are a peacemaker at heart, you always get very upset when anyone is fighting. Julia probably won't see that though since you really love pushing her buttons. I know you just want her attention, but it drives her a little crazy.
You like watching some TV shows, but not for too long. You think there is just too many other things going on for a distraction like TV. You always ask to watch Go Diego Go! but you are more attentive to Dora the Explorer. Occasionally you'll sit for a few episodes of Curious George. Which reminds me, you LOVE puppies. (You didn't get that from me, by the way.) Whenever you or Daddy sees a dog, the two of you run over and try to pet it. Our neighbors' dog gets kisses from you all the time. (yuck, dog slobber) I hope you had a good birthday, little one. Mommy and Daddy love you very very much!

LOVE the post!! I can't believe she can count that high. Garryn can't even count to three. I try and get him to count and he just looks at me like I am CRAZY. You must be doing something right!!! I see you went to Blue Bell. My kids love it there. We will have to come visit you soon.
