Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

Two years ago today, you were born. It really doesn’t seem like it’s been two years—the time has just flown by. I remember that nervous excitement as we drove to the hospital on that cold, snowy morning.

You are such an amazing, sweet little boy. Your father and I could not be more proud of you or more delighted that you are our son. We truly feel like we’ve been so blessed with you and your sister.

You have become quite the little comedian as of late—never wasting any opportunity to make us laugh. I think that will be your calling in life—making people laugh. You seem to have a knack for it, that’s for sure. Sometimes we have to separate you and your sister at the dinner table because you delight in getting her to laugh with your silly antics.

Right now, you have a passion for all things that move—cars, trucks, trains, etc. Your favorite thing is the Cars movie and all the cool Cars vehicles you received for Christmas. You can spend hours on the floor running your cars around.

Your next favorite pastime is torturing your sister. I know you only just want to play with her, but she doesn’t see it that way. It’s almost funny watching you two interact—reminds me a lot of how me and your uncle used to be when we were small. Also reminiscent of our relationship is the strong, loving bond you share. Your sister is as fiercely protective of you as I was of my little brother, and you idolize your sister in every way, similar to how my brother was with me.

It’s a wonderful thing to see. I hope you always remain close.

Happy Birthday, Little Man. Just remember that your family is your greatest wealth in this world, so cherish all that you have. We will always be in your corner, no matter what.
