C’mon :) Two
If given the choice to be the center of attention, with my 10 minute speech, in a room of adults
or
spend an entire 24 with oh, say, five, 2 year olds … ??
Easy. Peasy.
Two.
Hands down.
No questions asked.
Every. Single. Time.
Have I mentioned how much I adore this age ??
It’s true.
& this being the day Grandson #3 entered this world
well, let’s just say, my heart will be hunkered in mush because this sweet soul can officially claim, ! ! 2 ! !
And as I have with those dudes, dubbed cousins, who arrive before him,
keeping notes of adorableness is what I do.
One of my for. sure. forever favorite already being …
cause where he leads, I will follow.
to the office, filled with toys,
to the couch to watch a show
to the backyard with a bottle of bubbles and a bucket of chalk
or the couch to read a book …
his wish is my command.
♥
I’m ready for you, ! ! 2 ! !
I realize what comes next, as proving your independence is the name of this game.
NO will be expressed often,
falling to the floor, time after time, with a dramatic carry on about something or another,
uh-huh
insistence of OH YES I CAN regardless of what your parents deem appropriate,
messy messes of every shape, size and color
weeeeeeee
I can’t wait !!
Because along with the terrible which is oftentimes attached to this magical number
comes a genuineness like no other
incredibly pure,
perfectly honest,
joy as joy was born to be.
So.
! Happy 2, B !
but before we begin this awesome adventure, I need you to know,
your mimicking ways own my heart,
your repetition tickles my soul,
your priceless, no holding back, cascade of love is gold
& where you lead …
c’mon.
