Happy Birthday, Hayden!

Happy, happy birthday, baaaaaabyyyy! Wow, 2 years! CRAZY. It was LITERALLY just yesterday that you were born. Well, in my mind it was yesterday. ;) I cannot even fathom what life would've been like these last two years without you in our lives. You are the most fantastic toddler ON the planet. Your wit and humor, your love of animals (except birds...not too fond of those), your amazement with new things, your capability to see how "boo-i-ful" everything is, your true little sister identity, your charisma, your giving beautiful heart, and a spirit all your own are all incomparable attributes that make you who you were born to be. I got you a book for your birthday called "I Believe in You" and it's something that many parents, including myself, forget to tell their kids as often as possible. It's about believing in what you learn as you grow to carry you through the good times, the bad times, the confusing times and the awesome "I did it!" times. One thing that should always linger in your is that your Mommy believes in you. I believe in your strength, your kindness, your courage, and your inner beauty to carry you through life's many challenges. I would do anything for you and one of those things is teaching you how to stand on your own, laugh in the face of fear, and never give up on what it is YOU want. (unless it's that second cookie, and well, you're still 2 and you're still not getting it.) :) Right now the things that make your toes wiggle and your belly giggle are: bubbles, painting, movies, books, chocolate and/or cookies, Mommy's bean recipe, pizza pockets, rice, messing with your sister's stuff, your two mini kitty dolls, SHOES, wearing your hair in a pony tail, yo gabba gabba, Caillou, and anything outside. You also burst out in song often. :) We love you so much my sweet, Haydee Bell....and I hope that these two years of your life have been as wonderful to you as they have been for us. Mommy and Daddy and Sister LOVE you more than you will ever...ever....EVER know!!! XO Mommy
