Dear George,

Mommy's little man is two years old.  My sweet little baby has grown into a perfectly rambunctious little boy.  You are everything I dreamed of and expected out of a son.  You are sweet, smart, and silly.  You have more energy in your big toe then I have in my whole body.   You are a rough and tumble kind of guy, who still loves a good cuddle with his Mommy.  I cherish those moments.

You love to climb, jump, run, dive, wrestle, throw, tackle, and roll.  You have quite the arm and will throw just about anything.  You also love to play "soccer," kicking balls back and forth with either Mommy or Daddy.  You love cars, diggers, trains, and airplanes.  You are the ultimate bath splasher.  Life with you is never boring.  My reflexes have only gotten better since you entered my life.  You also love music and are very interested in the guitar.  When you play on Grandpa Hadjioannou's guitar, you seem transfixed by the sounds you make as you strum.  You call it a "tar" and often ask for your play version while at home. I love these things about you!

You've grown so much this year.  You've had lots of new experiences and I love being right there to witness it all.  One of the big ones was going to "school."  This was the first time you were left in the hands of strangers.  It was very nerve-wracking for Mommy.  The first week of the school you were great.  The second week not so much.  There was one day where you had to be pried off my leg so I could leave.  Absolutely heartbreaking.  That was short lived though.  The next week you were so excited about your new friend Jake and going to "cool.'  You adore your teachers and they adore you.   You are always well behaved and love participating in all the activities.  You make Mommy so proud!

You still adore both of your grandfathers and often ask for Pop-pop.  Yet another thing Mommy loves about you.  You are such a sweet and handsome little boy.  Your hugs and kisses make my heart soar.  I have enjoyed just about every single moment of the second year of your sweet little life.  I can't wait to see what adventures your third year will bring us!  I love you Georgie.  My life is blessed because you are in it! Happy birthday buddy.

Mommy
