The Best Two Years Of My Life

Dear Krew,
Wow buddy it's finally here! Tomorrow you're going to be two. I cannot believe how fast these years have gone by. It seems like just yesterday my heart started walking around outside of me, and always with you. If I could tell you what you have brought to me I'm sure they would be the most beautiful words, however it is just a feeling that is absolutely wonderful! Over the last two years I have smiled more, cried more, and loved more than one would think possible.

I know I've said this before, and I believe it with everything I am. We all have a purpose in life, and yours truly is to bring happiness to others. You have been doing it since the day you were born. A complete stranger can walk right up to you and within seconds you have them smiling. I'm not sure how you do this but you just do.

Lately you have been in love with Mickey Mouse! You want him first thing in the morning, and right before you go to bed. Some other things you currently love are animals (horses, cows, and sheep), our dogs, your brother, swimming, and jumping. Whenever we go to grandmas you pull all the farm animals out and any of the "armers" you can find. (I'm pretty sure she has one left because you always bring them home). We go on walks most mornings, and you always have to walk Riley. She is such a great sport, and just lets you pull her around. Your baby brother like always is your most favorite. You always want to hold him, and I let you because before we know it he is going to be bigger than you! We just started swimming lessons, and that is all you have talked about today. And jumping oh jumping. You jump wherever you go! I think you are really just showing off, but hey your getting really high!

Again like I've said before you are SMART! We were at Mo and Ben's the other night and you picked something up and said, "Cone" sure enough you were holding a cone in your hand! You know all your colors, but still get a few mixed up (red, purple, and pink are all pink). You love blue and always point out blue things. Recently you tell everyone to look and tell them all about what you are looking at. Tonight you said, "Look mommy it a pretty flower." Of course it was our favorite kind the beloved dandylion. You have also started to say some not so cute things...."Oh F*@k." We have learned to just ignore it, and this seems to really be helping. I'm not sure where you learned that, but I was mortified the first time to hear it, and probably gave you too much attention for it, so then you learned to say it whenever I was busy with brother, or not giving you 100% of my attention.

Physically you are still such a stalky guy, and Rob Orchard has you pinned to be a wrestler. I'll take that I guess. Right now you are 35 inches, and if the doubling rule is correct that will make you about 5'10". That would be about what I have always expected anywhere between 5'8"-5'"10. You weigh 31 pounds, but are really starting to thin out and look like a little boy instead of a toddler.

Well love keep that amazing personality and you will be sure to go places! Love you to the moon and back my little man!

XOXO,
Mommy

P.S. There is a parade tomorrow just for you!! (Ok maybe the fair, but we'll tell you that!)

Ready or Not!!

Krew is turning 2!!
I cannot believe it has been 2 years since my life has been changed for the better.
This is not his 2 letter so I'm going to avoid the mushy details but share what we have planned for our big boy!
We have come up with a few birthday traditions in all our 1 birthdays celebrated so far (hehe)
Here they are:
1. Birthday's are declared "YES" days. This means he asks we say yes. This tradition will go on until he learns how to manipulate the yes day. i.e. asking for cars.....(You get the point)
Last year on yes day we didn't have to do much due to the limited vocabulary! This year I am slightly nervous!
2. It is your day. What this means is Tuesday we will take Kade to the sitter and give Krew our undivided attention. I will do the same on Oct. 12 and I am already planning on taking the day off from work to spend with only Kade. I have a feeling when they get older they will want their brother with them, but right now we are still pretty little and like attention.
3. You will wake up to a room filled with balloons. Seth came up with this one, because he said when he was little he always expected something cool right when he woke up! (lol)
This is really what we've got, but I'm loving making our family traditions our own, and it helps me get over the fact that my babies are growing faster than I would like!
Take a look at Krew's awesome cake pops! We have both Minnie and Mickey for the boys and girls of course!
