There is something about this age that is so captivating. I know that two year olds are notorious for their tantrums, difficult behaviors, and liberal use of the word "no", but we seldom see that around here. Most things we ask of Dylan are greeted with a "Yeah, sure!!!" For Dylan, two is a year of wonder and intense joy in discovery and in being part of a family. Each morning when his sisters wake up, he greets them with such intense enthusiasm that you would think he hadn't seen them for months. You can see in his eyes at that moment that all is right with the world. For Dylan, two is also a year of heart-breaking innocence, of wearing his heart on his sleeve with no hesitation in showing his joys, fears, and above all, his excitements. He makes us chuckle with his huge displays of enthusiasm for things like balloons in the sky, popsicles for dessert, or anything that is out of the ordinary. All throughout the day, he randomly exclaims, "I a happy boy!"
So, here's to two, and I am going to try not to blink because I know all too well how fast it goes!
