Dear Aj,
You had your two year check up today and I am happy to report that you passed with flying colors. Your doctor was happy with how big and strong you look. You weighed in at 31 pounds and stood tall at 36.25 inches. You fall into the 76% for height but both the doctor and I think that is wrong. You are taller than most kids your age and look more like a three old.
I can not believe that it has only been two short years since you have entered into our lives. You have forever changed me and I want to say thank you. You have shown me that life is bigger than myself, that small things are worth laughing at and no matter how busy or crazy life gets I can always find happiness when we are together.
We have entered into the wonderful world of terrible twos. You are leaning independence but with that comes frustration. Your favorite word is not "no" but "help" I have to hold back at times, it is in may nature to come and solve the problem for you. However the pride that you have on your face when we can sit down together and I show you how to solve the problem by your self is priceless. I will always be here to "help" but I would not be doing you justice if I solve the problems for you my friend. I am proud of you when you can take the time, patience and persistence to solve those same problems on your own.
Here are few things that you have learned how to do by your self.
1. Climb into the car and into your car seat
2. Put you bowl in the sink
3. Tell Annie "No"
4. Put your cloth in the dirty cloth Hamper
5. Pull down your pants
6. Put puzzle pieces in the right hole
You are growing up so fast. A couple weeks ago you called me "Mama" and then "Mommy" now this week you are calling me "Mom" Do you think it would be possible to slow down and just call me "Mommy" for awhile? I would really like that.
Thank you for being the little boy that I love and adore. Please keep up all this growing up stuff, but don't ever grow up so much that you don't need a hug from you Mommy.
Love you
Mommy
