Seriously?
Did I just write that?
TWO YEARS OLD?!?!?!?
Is my son really turning TWO years old today!?!?
Someone please explain to me exactly when my son went from this little 7 1/2 pound cuddler:
To this curious, running, jumping, talking, ball-throwing, counting, movie-watching, hide-n-seek playing, water painting, sports worshiping little boy who recognizes U2 and John Mayer songs when they come on the radio, bargains with me about how many more bites he has to eat before he can watch a “DD”, and runs at least one naked lap around the house right after we get him out of the bath tub every night:
I set out to write a “Here’s To You On Your Birthday” post for Josiah, but I was immediately overwhelmed.
I just couldn’t possibly imagine having a more amazing son, and I think it would take at least a book for me to explain all the details of why.
So, instead, I think I’ll just try to capture a little bit of his essence at this age, and maybe this time next year, I’ll look back at this and laugh.
For starters, here’s 2 minutes of video from last week that captures him at this age pretty well. This was a couple of days before Halloween. Josiah was ‘helping’ me rake the leaves:
Here are a few of his favorite things to say as he turns the corner to becoming an official 2-year-old:
Ooh too! (U2, his favorite band)
