two.
precious baby boy,
you are TWO now.
what a happy baby you have been since we met just 11 months ago.
add in the confidence, the freedom, the silly of now?
you, my boy, are pure JOY.
i love the way you sign "more" & say "peeeeass" for more food.
i love the way you lie down across my lap & suck your thumb as i sing to you.
i love the way you wrestle bianca and
have your big sisters pull you around the wood floor
on whatever box/basket/broom is available.
i love your break-dancing &
when you play Hey Jude on the ukelele.
i love you. we love you.
you are a special boy, clayton elijah.
you have been longed for & prayed over more than
you could ever imagine.
praising God for your life today.
that you are in our lives today.
that you are home forever.
that you are TWO.
happiest of birthdays, baby boy.
