It's that time again. My little boy turns 2 today and I love it! When he was a few weeks old, I remember saying how much I wanted to know what kind of a person he was going to be. What would he like? What would his nature be? And now, I love who he is and can't remember when I learned all about him!
This second year has brought horses, more books, basketball, JUMPING, cuddling in mom and dad's bed, and so. much. talking! For me as a mom, this second year has brought yelling - which I never wanted to do, threats - which sound ridiculous as I say them, and punishment - which is hardly consistent. That being said, I love how he teaches me to grow - when I don't want to, when it's hard and especially, when it's inconvenient.
We were very blessed with a beautiful (if a little windy) day to celebrate with a few friends. I'm so very grateful for how much love J sees in his life. It's natural to desire (even demand on some days) the ideal or the best for your child/life/day/circumstance but ultimately we never really control it. The lesson I'm slowly, slowly learning is that the love is what matters. And love just oozes out when I see these guys! Happy 2nd Birthday Jude!
