two!

james-

you and drew are napping, so i thought i would take this rare quiet time to sit and write a little note to you. 

it is your second birthday, and i can't believe how awesome you are!  well, i can, because you have a GREAT resource of awesomeness {and it ain't your daddy!}  i always knew i wanted to be a mom, but from the time i saw the two pink lines, to your first ultrasound, to feeling your first kick, and then when i held you for the first time two years ago, i never fully understood what being a mom really was. 

you have accomplished and grown so much in just two years, and these days it seems as if you learn something new everyday.  i love watching you become an individual, trying new things, and be a sweetheart to everyone.  you are genuinely a sweet boy, and you take after your uncle mark and are the life of the party.  you not only look and act like him, you have his awesome personality and that makes my heart smile.  really smile.

in a few short hours, we will be in full swing of your awesome construction party.  you will have a ton of friends and family around, presents and cake everywhere, and two proud parents who won't be able to stop beaming.  so many people love you.  daddy and i love you.

two years ago at 4:45pm, a mama was born. thank you for making me a mama.

i love you.

love,
mama
