24 months

Dear R,

Happy Birthday! You spent this entire month excited about your birthday. We sang happy birthday just about every day, and you even started requesting it as your good night lullaby. "Sing happy birthday, Gammie!" you'd say. And I'd start the song, but once I got the first line out, "Happy Birthday To You," you'd interject, "Sing Happy Birthday, GAMMIE!" so I couldn't even sing the full song. Just that one line. Then you'd tell me, "Sing Happy Birthday, Gampie!" and then "Sing Happy Birthday, Gammie Gampie," "Sing Happy Birthday, Mommy!"

You'd announce everywhere that it was someone's birthday. Usually Gammie and Gampie's but sometimes it was my birthday or Daddy's birthday.

On your birthday you were so excited to have cake. You could not wait to blow out candles-- your day care teachers reported that you spent all day talking about blowing out candles and practicing your technique repeatedly.

Grandma and Grandpa sent you some play cupcakes for your birthday.
These cupcakes have become one of your favorite toys. You love to feed us cupcake. You ask for cupcakes all the time, and you especially enjoy blowing out candles on the cupcakes. We have tea parties with the tea set you got from Grammie and Grampie and cupcakes to go on the side.

Happy 2nd Birthday, R. I love you so much, and am so glad you are enjoying this whole ride as much as we are.

Love,
Mama
