Ok.....so maybe the title isn't completely accurate.....two isn't so bad.....IF this kid wouldn't have been hospitalized twice already......or IF he wasn't absolutely and totally spoiled because of his cuteness.....or IF he wasn't my 4th child, but only the 3rd one to reach this age.......that fact is just......I can't describe it....
I haven't had a 2 year old for 11 years......what do I do with that? Embrace it? Hate it? It is what it is?
I can't really tell you how I feel about reaching this day....Ben is two....Luke never turned two. Do I think about that a lot; well, lately I have. They would have loved each other so much. He would have loved having a playmate and brother closer to him than 9 years apart from him.
But, this is our life.....this is what our family looks like......Luke is always there with us, just unseen. And that I just have to live with.
So today, our baby boy turned 2 and it was a PARTY! He loves dinosaurs....a love he gets from his brothers! So we dinosaur-ed it up.....the cake, the pinata, and the presents!
He is such a delight. He is super cute and we just love to kiss his cheeks off!
Here is a sampler:
