I blinked and my youngest turned two. They say it goes fast, but I'm not sure I ever believe how fast this would all go! Simon is such a special little guy. Being the youngest, he really is everybody's baby. His siblings have such a special relationship with him and love seeing things through his eyes. I also think it has been fun for them to see how babies and toddlers learn and grow...how language develops, how movement advances - it's all so miraculous!
It was a beautiful day on his actual birthday, so we spent the afternoon out at the cabin with Grandpa Steve finishing up the syrup project for the year. Simon loves riding in the side by side and eating snacks, so he was very happy with this plan. When Daddy got home from work, we had a piece of cake together. He loved hearing the Happy Birthday song and fuffing out the candle. He also got a new balance bike, but was a little unsure of it and wasn't quite ready to give it a try.
Simon, you are so special to us. Your wildness, big cheesy grin, and sweet snuggles make us all smile. You are fiercely independent and like to do things your own way on your own timeframe. You are fearless and bold, but kind-hearted and tender. You love chocolate and ice cream maybe even more than I do! I am so thankful for the privilege of being your mommy. Happy 2nd Birthday, sweet Simon!
You are so very loved!!
