Today is Toddler 2’s birthday. She is so full of life and zeal that it’s hard to describe her and even harder to contain her. This picture suits her well…
She is a fascinating combination of mischief and innocence. Adventure and froufrou. She is daring and bold, affectionate and passionate, temperamental and loving. Never afraid to try whatever feat her big sister is attempting, she is a brave and willing follower and yet a little leader in her own right. She smiles exuberantly and laughs heartily when she’s happy, and emphatically yells her “ABC’s” and nursery rhymes at us when she’s mad. She’s totally tactile, from turning every cup of yogurt into finger-paint and a face-mask… to experimenting with the taste of crayons and loose coins. She loves playing outside, having dance marathons with her sister, eating bangles (aka bagels) with her daddy in the mornings, and wearing bracelets on her biceps.
As we enter this next season often known as the “terrible two’s” we do so with great anticipation of the many public displays of defiance, fiery tantrums, wild adventures, hilarious antics, and tender moments we’ll experience with her. We’re buckled in and ready for the ride.
So… to our tutu-clad little devil… today, especially, we thank God for you and the many ways you keep us on our toes. We love you, T2!
