This Thursday will mark Kyle's second birthday. We are all so very excited. Kyle giggles with excitement everytime you remind him that he is going to be "2" this week and is going to have a party.
But in all this excitement I still sit back and wonder where has my little baby gone? My little baby that once wanted me to rock him forever before bed now announces "bed" and gets up and leaves the room after story time. Every night he breaks my heart when he crawls out of my lap and marches to his room but at the same time I know he is growing up.
My little baby that once depended on me for everything now is doing most things on his on. He is very much "Mr. Independent." His vocabulary is amazing to me. I had no idea that my little baby would be this verbal. (Yes I know he inheritated it honestly!) He is so sweet and kind. For the most part he remembers his manners by saying please and thank you and tells family and random strangers "Bless You" whenever he hears a sneeze. He melted my heart today when I came back into the living room from fixing my hair - he looked up smiled at me and said "pretty hair."
Thankfully he still loves his story books and I try to get as many snuggles, hugs and kisses in in those brief moments we are reading a book before he runs off to explore a new adventure.
It amazes me a how it just seems like yesterday that we had this little baby enter into our lives (very early - I might add) and how he has changed us so much for the better. I am so thankful for Kyle and these last two years. I try each and every day not to take anything for granted. I know that before Kyle arrived people would tell me to enjoy every moment cause time will fly....my goodness,they were right!
