in the 2 years since you came along,
i’m 2 times as tired
life’s 2 times as wild
2 times as loud
as it was before.
my heart is 2 times bigger
i feel 2 times more vulnerable
more scared
more happy
more complete.
sometimes it feels like it’s you and me kid…we have a special bond.
no matter how fiercely independent you may be, there’s nowhere you’d rather be than in my arms. that half drives me crazy and half makes my heart sing.
you came into this world in one push.
sounded like a champagne cork popping.
and that was weird. and wonderful. and turns out…so YOU.
daddy wasn’t there. i held you and cried. and you looked at me with those beautiful eyes and cried, and the cleft in your chin was his. and i fell in love with you.
each day i’m learning with you.
you’re wild.
my little sadie bug
monkey
wild child.
i love you with all of my heart.
happy 2nd birthday, baby!
