Two...

I never finished my post about John turning two but in the last month in half I have experienced two. by experienced i mean oh my you are so two now. oh how i love you. the past two weeks you have been acting so so independent. i love that about you but it so frightens me. i see alot of me in you and i'm scared half to death when i do. you tug at my heart every time with those knowing eyes. you have learned the meaning of no in so many ways but there are the moments when you say yes and are so so helpful to me. i see daddy in you too. often your sweet moments of please, mom sit too, thank you, hold you, hold you, etc. these moments are fleeting and so my favorites cause i know there will come a day you won't want me to sit near you or hold you. so i will treasure each hold me and steal as many kisses and hugs as i can. you love outside and probably could spend all day out there if we would let you. i love watching you play bears rrrrrroarring down the hallway or how you love to getsy getsy everyone you know. you love to help in the kitchen when able. you want to do everything that a big boy would do. (not the toilet but we are getting there). you love your cows. i think you could play farm all day if you could. yesterday while at marketplace you said hi to every person you saw with your little charmer smile. i smile back but deep inside you grab at my heart yet again knowing you are MINE. i will claim you over and over again as mine my little man even when you are naughty. i love everything about you and i will never lose that love for you ever. i love watching you lead the others in prayer at the table knowing someday you will get it and you will share jesus with them. i love you my little man and my prayer for you always is to love jesus with your whole heart and serve him before anything else!! Happy two years my little boy!!
