Turning Two
Where do I even begin with my apology? Before you were ever fully formed I was terrified of you. Terrified of the “idea” of you. I never imagined that my heart could ever beat stronger than it already did.
I have never claimed to be “right” about everything, but never did I think I could be so wrong about something so significant.
I am sorry…
You.
You are a dream come true. A dream I never knew I was dreaming. A dream only God knew I had silently dreamt.
Thank you God for knowing what I need before I ever do.
You are two!
I still don’t know how this happened. How you became my beautiful “butterfly” overnight. You are seriously, incredibly amazing. Amazing beyond my wildest imagination. You speak better, and more eloquently than most adults I know. You have a very, very dry sense of humor that is significantly funnier because of the tiny voice you use to deliver your punch lines. You enjoy the most delicious foods, and you prefer reading and singing to any other activities.
The definition of bossy reads as follows:
Given to ordering others around; domineering.
Followed by your picture.
For such a little body you sure demand BIG respect! I respect you for that, but I promise to continue working with you on controlling the negative aspects of the definition.
You are head over heels for your brother. You would follow him to the moon if he asked. You two love to rough house, and I am completely confident with the fact that you are able to, ”hold your own”.
I envy your spirit. You have this extremely captivating presence that everyone notices when you enter a room. People want to be around you, and you always try to make everyone feel special. I don’t know how you do it at such a young age, but I really don’t know how you do most of what you do at such a young age.
Jordyn, you have made us whole on a completely spiritual level. You make us so very proud every day to be your Mommy and Daddy. I hope you have the happiest birthday. And I hope 2 brings you all of the excitement, love and adventure that you crave. We love you baby girl.
letting go of her two balloons
So excited that they are flying so high
Two balloons against an extremely ominous sky
Realizing her balloons were never coming back down
