Happy 2nd Birthday

September 7, 2012

Dear Aj,

Today on the day of you birth I am remind how fast you are growing up right in front of my eyes. The days seem like they are flying by and you are getting bigger and learning new things even faster. As I sit here and write your letter, I'm struck by how cliche my thoughts sound. I want tell you that you are the light of our life, that you laughter is like a ray of sun shine on a cloudy day, that without  you I don't feel whole. All are lyrics to songs that I never understood until I had you. The love that your Father and I feel for you is so deep and true, I hope that as you grow you always feel that.

 I want to describe who 2 year old Aj is, 2 yr old Aj is very observant in new situation, cautious at first but a dare devil in his own right. Very polite, but prefers to say hello and goodbye in french which is always a crowd pleaser. You still love to cuddle with your Mommy and Daddy and your favorite shows are Little Einsteins and Mickey Mouse Playhouse. I call you my little gourmet, because you love salmon, artichokes and Gruyere but turn your nose up at chicken nuggets and string cheese. When you see a bus your refer to it as a butt, which is quite funny when all I hear from the back seat is "here comes a butt!" or "look at that butt." You love to read and play music in fact you are quite the bad ass when it comes to the drums (you can not us the word ass until you are in college, but yes you are a bad ass). You love to play with your trains and in fact we never leave the house without a handful of them. You call you milk cup a bottle even though it is in a sippy cup and your pacifier is called apassy. Doug the dog is your side kick and you have to have him to sleep. In fact when we come home after school the first thing you ask for is Doug and he does not leave your hand until the next morning when Daddy tells you to put Doug to bed for the day.

You are just the best little boy, I miss you every moment that I am away from you and soak in every moment that I am with you.

I all I can wish for, is that whatever you life holds that you always feel loved. Life is better when you go through it together as a family with people that you can trust and depend on. No matter what, we will always be here for you, to love you, to support you and to believe in you.

Love Mommy and Daddy
