you're two tomorrow. I can't even begin to imagine where all the seconds have gone. These last few weeks have been busy and changing.
You have been excelling at daycare since we decided my return to work would start in February, and it's become a "busy" season in our lives. One where we can get so caught up in deadlines and pick-ups/drop-offs that one can forget to seize that snuggle or enjoy the sunset park visits. I'll admit that tantrums are easy to ignore and we try not to focus on those, but can get caught up in the in between of these behaviors.
The way you call us mommy, daddy. Which seems to you to signify comfort not necessarily a name differentiation between your two parents, makes us smile.
Last Friday we had to put down our puppy Decker. He was a month shy of 6 years old, it broke out hearts and we've been devastated. Your comprehension has been limited and every morning and afternoon we here you asking "puppy?puppy? puppy?". This is one of the things I'll miss most. The camaraderie between you and Decker, you adoring him and him...tolerating you.
Than there's tomorrow, you turn two, we're off this week on vacation and we're going to be trying a few new things, movement out of your crib and into a bed. There's always change in the midts of turmoil, and we're so glad to have been chosen to be your parents through it all.
we love you.
xoxoo.
mommy & daddy
