She Turned Two Today
Beautiful Beatrix tumbled into the terrible twos today. (She had an early, running start a couple months ago).
I guess it was a quiet day (as days go for a toddler). The hardest part was giving up her pacifier. But she didn’t complain. Not once. She had some tough moments, times when you could see the want in her eyes, but she didn’t even call for her “coo-coo” once. She’s like her mom, a deeply rooted tree once her mind is set. She’ll be ok.
Thankfully, I got to spend a few moments with her. Alone. Everyone asleep, just us two night owls watching the Broncos game, eating popcorn, practicing our illegal procedure calls. Saying, “Go Broncos!” “Touchdown!” “Awe man!” and singing, ABC’s, Itsy-bitsy Spider, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
How blessed am I to have these moments?
