Two years on...

Kate, you are two today. You wouldn't know why it is that we will be bringing you out later, and why you will be having an ice cream treat. You wouldn't know that today's a big deal. But you will be excited and enthusiastic all the same. Because its ice cream and its going out for a walk.


Know what I love about you being two? Everything's a big deal to you now, cuddly toys, sweet stuff, Barney, even a piece of ribbon would make you happy! And the smallest things can also set you off on yet another tantrum! But I love that everything now makes you feel, and that you feel with all your little being. When you scream, you SCREAM. When you laugh, you LAUGH. I love that. Your enthusiasm always rubs off on me, even if just a little.


How did you grow sooo fast?? I look at you, and as always, I marvel at God's gift. It's been two years since I started my full time job as a mother, and when I look at you, I only think of how it's all worth it. Worth all my sacrifices, worth putting my heart out there, worth every single moment and I cannot imagine it any other way. I love being with you, and having the time to do everything with you, and now I know... I'm not missing out on anything. It's others who are missing out on this. This bond, this affection, this love. I love you baby gal. And I always, always will.


**Just last night, when I opened the front door, Kate came running to me. "Go class ah? Go class ah?" And I replied her yes. Then she got all excited at my dress and kept pawing me, chanting over and over again, "Nice! So nice!" Lol. I couldn't stop laughing as I knelt down to hug her and show her the album I did. When I showed her my album and asked her if it was nice, she asked me in return; "Why?" Haha.
