This morning at 6:15am (a bit earlier than normal), I heard you through the monitor begin to babble and giggle. I heard, "Mamaaa" followed by lots of words such as "elmo book" and all the names of the characters you love. This typically occurs each morning around 7am and I wait for a couple "mama's" before either your daddy or I venture up to get you. Today, I popped out of bed like it was christmas morning to race upstairs and scoop my birthday boy up. We sang happy birthday to you, and after our final "to you", you had the sweetest most beautiful grin on your face and you pointed to yourself and said "TO ME!". It was that moment that my eyes welled up in tears and my heart about burst with love for our incredible little boy.
Since the time you were 2 minutes old, you have been the smiliest, happiest boy. You have an infectious smile and it is very commonplace that we hear from others what an angel you are. Even during times of transitions (starting school a couple weeks ago, beginning swimming lessons yesterday, new babysitters etc.), you may cry for a bit, but your sweetness melts the hearts of everyone who knows you. You have the most delicate balance of a completely gentle and sensitive soul and a strong and confident babe. I see this so often. You can go from cuddling beyond the norm of a 2 year old to holding your own with your brother in a matter of minutes. Your verbal skills have exploded the last month, and "my _____" has become a phrase used often as you develop your sense of self!
I will always remember the morning you were born - the first day of summer and fathers day. You entered the world at 5:25am right as the sun was coming up. This couldn't be more appropriate because you truly are like a shining sun. You make everything happy and bright and bring light to the lives of everyone!!
Happy 2nd Birthday to my beautiful, sweet son Logan Finley. You shine beyond words!!
Love, Mama
