Dear Colin,
Today you turn two years old. The last two years have been
the best years of our lives because of you.
You have grown so much and your personality is definitely
starting to shine. You are so funny and will do anything to make people laugh. You
are extremely stubborn and opinionated (even though you don’t talk very much).
You know what you want and won’t stop asking until you get it. Even though you
can be difficult at times, you’re mostly sweet and loving, always asking for
more hugs and kisses.
You have a major sweet tooth, just like your mama. You were
in seventh heaven during Halloween. Your first time trick-or-treating was at
Night Eyes at the Zoo. Your Ninja Turtle costume was a hit! You also got to
trick-or-treat at mama’s work. You were so upset when you couldn’t take the
entire candy bowl from someone’s desk! Eventually you got the hang of it and
loved saying “Thank you” to everyone. We also went around our neighborhood on
Beggar’s Night. You were so brave and weren’t even scared of the masks a lot of
kids were wearing.
In the last few weeks, your vocabulary has grown two-fold,
thanks to all the reading and talking we do. You love to mimic everything you
hear. You know what sounds all your favorite animals make. You are still very
much into books and would spend all day being read to if you could. Your
favorite books are all about animals (Brown Bear, Ten Little Lady Bugs, and
Eight Silly Monkeys).
Your love for animals isn’t just in books, though. You are
obsessed with your kitty, Jasmine. Every morning when you wake up, she’s the
first thing you ask to see. You also love our dogs, Rocco and Macy. You give
Rocco big hugs every chance you get. You think it’s so funny when you’re able
to get Macy to chase you around the house. No matter where we go, if you spot a
cat or a dog we have to stop and let you look at it for a while. It’s so cute
to hear you say “Hi Kitty!”
We celebrated your birthday a week early with a tiger themed
birthday party. Everyone in our family was there to celebrate you. At first you
were a little shy when you realized all the attention was on you but you
quickly got over it and had a blast playing with all of your new toys.
We wish you knew how much joy you bring us. There are times
we swear our hearts are going to burst because of how much we love you. We
can’t wait to see what the next year brings us.
To the moon and back,
Mama and Dada
