Not so terrible… two!

In a matter of hours my son will be two years old.  I am so proud of him.  He is an amazing, good-natured kid.  Everyday I think I could not possibly love him more, and then a new day dawns and proves me wrong.

As he gets older (or more significantly, as I get older) I will forget the details of who he is today.  I won’t remember the small things that make him, him right now.

  • His favourite colour is orange
  • His favourite dinosaur is the triceratops
  • His favourite letter is W
  • He loves to eat fruit, specifically blueberries
  • He loves to play with cars, trucks, trains, and anything that moves
  • He is naturally athletic and has an amazing arm
  • In bed, he needs his 3 giraffes, 2 monkeys, and one baby piled around him
  • His favourite saying is “Boom shaka, Boom!”

Every day is a new adventure and I welcome each one (even though they are not always fun).  I anticipate and look forward to seeing him grow and learn and carve out his own place in this world.

Happy Birthday, Bubs!

  1. Happy Birthday to your little man! My son is 3.5 and I have loved every minute of it, but from 2 on, they really start to blossom in their own little way. I just want him to stop growing up so fast, ya know what I mean? Anywho, your Q is adorable. And Happy Birthday to him!!

  2. I try to write down my sons favourite things every once in a while as well, you THINK you will never forget things but as time goes on, unfortuately we do!

    Happy Birthday and I agree with Christine, you are both so lucky to have each other.

  3. My little boy just turned 2 on Sunday. He also loves anything that moves-he got a wooden train set for his birthday and loves it!! Happy Birthday!!

  4. Happy belated birthday to your little guy!

    One question: can we have a playdate? My older son is 2 1/2 and he and your son share a favorite color, a favorite dinosaur, a favorite fruit, a passion for things that go, and a tendency to surround themselves with a menagerie in bed. I’d say that’s the makings of a beautiful friendship!

  5. W! that’s my niece’s favorite too. DOUBLE UUUU she likes to say. ha ha

    A big happy belated birthday to your son :)
