My little lovable monster, we survived the two’s! You started out the first half of your second year saying ‘NO!’ and ‘YUCKY (GUCKY)!’ to just about everything. You didn’t want to go in your car seat, or ride in your stroller or eat anything we made you for dinner. You squirmed your way out of getting dressed each morning, you went limp when we tried putting you in your crib for bed and you would make messes and refuse to help clean them up. When we said ‘no’ it made you that much more excited to do the opposite. The more dangerous the better! You gave new meaning to baby-proofing…to the point where we had to Ewan-proof the baby-proofing. But somehow you managed to pepper each day with this ungodly cuteness and slobber us with kisses to remind us all that you are the greatest little boy to have ever been born. After a bout of the terrible twos, your heart and soul would burst in to the most incredible show of empathy, love and kindness. You would show us that you are filled with so much shining gold that it could cure those little tantrums and make us forget about all of your two year old shortcomings.
You have the cutest most-crooked teeth and your smile glows. You’ve grown taller by the day this year. Your weight has been 30 pounds since you were 18 months old, but you’re as tall as a giant. Your high pitched voice sounds like a sweet baby bird. You have the best hand-eye coordination of any two year old….really any kid for that matter. You nail the target just about every single time. Be it playing catch with Daddy or shooting baskets on your little hoop. One minute you want to ‘do it self!’ and the next minute you want one of us to cater to your every need. When someone in the family is stressed, you rub our arm and say ‘Deep Breffs.’ (deep breaths) You love construction sites and anything with wheels. Your vocabulary is booming and you are talking to us all the time! You’re still a picky eater, but you do love cucumbers, peppers, apples, pizza and tater tots! Recently you’ve added peanut butter jelly without the crust! When a song comes on you say ‘dis my fay-vrite!’ and start singing and dancing. You love Richard Scary books and the show ‘Mighty Machines.’ You have become a little racer on your balance bike and speed is no object. You love to pick on your sisters and mess up their room and take their things. You think it’s hilarious. You definitely keep them on their toes! You say things like ‘Oh dear!’ when you’re concerned or ‘Hey guys, what’s happening here?’ when you see something out of place. Your worried look is adorable and you are always assessing your surroundings. You are starting preschool in the fall. You’re my wild man and I love it. You’re my magic man and make bad moments disappear. Your little boy charm is captivating. You complete our family in ways that make us all shine! I love you my sweet Ewan Stone. Happy Birthday big boy….three is going to be F.U.N.!
