Happy Birthday Macadoodle!

Happy Birthday Macadoodle! I cannot believe it has only been two years since your arrival. It seems like you have been here forever. And boy, life sure must have been slow before you got here 'cause we have been on one crazy train since then. You are an adorable, sweet, smart, ornery, and creative little guy. We can't take our eyes off you for very long because you are always exploring and figuring things out. No lock can hold you in. No door will keep you out. You have been slow to speak but we all know that your wheels are turning. You have figured out how to escape your crib, tear off the child proof knobs on the doors, unlock your bedroom door, and unlatch the gate from the courtyard into the front yard. More than once, our neighbors have returned you to us:) You love books and cars. You LOVE sports of all sorts. But, to participate to your liking, all involved must be wearing a baseball cap. Clothes are optional but hats are not;) You have begun to speak more within the past month or two. Your favorite phrases are "pease" (please), "thank choo" (thank you), "r you?" (where are you), and "wa" (Will). You do not pronounce your "sh" and "u" sounds clearly. They are actually very nasally. Shoes and juice are words only your mama can understand. But, each day you get a little clearer and with three older brothers, what is the rush. They are happy to talk for you:) And those three boys love you. Although they would appreciate you leaving their things alone, they think you are adorable and love to brag to their friends about all the new things you are doing. Will also likes to take charge of you in public. He figured out pretty quickly that cute toddlers attract cute girls! Mac, I had three boys before you arrived but none of them prepared me for you. You are your own individual with your own ideas and determination. You see your big brothers doing things and by golly, you are gonna do them too. You move chairs so that you can reach things. You use drawer knobs as foot holds so that you can scale any counter top. No one is gonna hold you back. The Lord knows that many of us have tried but you are not to be stopped. And although I fear for your safety daily, I know that creativity and determination will serve you well in life. You are gonna do some amazing things in life. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for you. I love you Macadoodle. You have given me quite a few gray hairs this past year but you are too sweet to not be forgiven. Happy 2nd Birthday Big Guy!
