2

Can't quite say why I haven't written anything since your birthday.  It's a milestone, after all.  2 years.  2 years in existence.  A bit odd.  I think I barely remember life before you.  Seems like this long ago distance youth.  You are so much more fun than the late night drinking and running around.  You have breathed childhood back into me.  I've been remembering little things I had long forgotten because I see them in you.  It's a lovely thing.

Funny toddler story of the day:  Argilia took you shopping for your birthday today.  Being a practical mother, I had suggested a winter coat.  But of course, Argilia wasn't done there.  So, I then suggested a hat/mitten set to go with the coat.  Of course, I let you pick it out.  You chose a purple knit hat with a monster face on the front and a ridiculous blue and purple tassel on top (need to insert pictures into these things).  You promptly placed it over your head (entirely over your head) sideways and jumped out at random shoppers shouting "peek-a-boo!"  I seriously almost peed myself.  I have no doubt you made at least half a dozen people's day.

I hope you always remain that ridiculous.
