as i’ve been singing out all day long, Jasper, you turned two today and i’ve never been prouder of something and someone …
i just don’t know how to describe it, but every day you give us something new, and every day i love you more and more.
there’s a wonder in your eyes, wild and free much like the curls on your head, that makes everything exciting! we still can’t understand what you say 75% of the time, but to you it’s like there’s a fire somewhere and your words are trying to put it out LOL
the things you can do at two years old?
– RUN LIKE THE WIND
– stuff your mouth with more than it can hold
– share your cars with your sister
– allocate every one a hat, except yourself
– behave on walks around the neighbour
– spot a car, a truck, a bus, a duck, the moon, the sun, the earth, postman pat, jess the cat, a balloon, a biscuit, a crocodile, a sultana … from any given place on earth
– pick up new sounds like THAT
– go down the big slide on your own
– be selective with your kisses but be free with your dancing
– play my ipod touch better than your dad
– switch my computer monitor on and off and on and off and on ..
– run down the hall at 3am and find me in the dark
– eat a whole meal and NOT get messy
– walk (not crawl) up the stairs
– pee on the floor the minute grandpa decides to let you run around nappy free
– poop in privacy by running into an empty room (and close the door) or finding a spot under the dining table to be on your own
– drive me nuts
– make me fall in love with you again
happy birthday my dear sweet Jasper. if i had known two years ago how AWESOME you are, i wouldn’t of believed myself. but you are, and i’m pinching myself every single day.
day two
year one
year two
love, mama
