TWO: A BIRTHDAY INTERVIEW.

As I sit here on the brink of bringing another baby into this world, I am grateful that God has given me this day to remain a family of four. As much as I am over this pregnancy, wishing to get back the ability to breath and have energy to do anything, I was nervous that baby would come and I would spend Doodey's birthday in the hospital loving up someone new, instead of him.

But alas, I'm still here! We checked his party and two year photo shoot off the list this weekend, and are spending this day celebrating him. He is such a stud. I love him so much it hurts. It's wild to think that two years of his precious life have ticked by somehow. I don't know how we got so lucky and got such a cool kid, but I'm sure glad we did. He's a lover and funny and pretty chill, which helps balance out our family pretty nicely.

So, in honor of his second birthday today, I asked him a few questions over breakfast. Although his language is blossoming everyday, I'm adding in my two cents where he gave me blank stares :) My answers are in (parenthesis).
