He looks just like his sisters, which is to say, he looks like his mommy. Apparently, Daddy doesn't possess very strong genes, or they got lost along the way. He shares his oldest sister's sweetness and compassion, and his middle sister's crazy, creative mind. He does is very best to keep up with them, and refuses to be left behind.
He loves tractors and trucks. He looks every day for the shirt that has the characters from "Cars" on it to wear. He sleeps in a big boy bed and stays put every night. He demands chocolate milk at the crack of dawn. He sometimes will snuggle with his mommy, for just a minute, then when he is reassured the world is right, he is off to his next task. He follows his daddy around, determined to help him with every task. He wants to use power tool. And he watches each day at the door, wondering when Daddy will come home, and asking if he will take him swimming.
What I hope this translates to, is that as an adult, he will grow up to be compassionate, helpful, independent, and be able to think outside the box. That he will find someone to love, and be the kind of husband every girl wants. That he will love his family, and know when to be there and when to back away. And that he will be successful in most of life, but learn from what he is not.
Two is amazing. I see the person he will become, but for now, I get him all to myself. And that is the most amazing of all.
