To My Son, Now That You’re Two

December 3, 2016 by Julie 23 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe and join the tribe. Thanks for visiting!

My darling little boy. You are two years old now; no longer a baby, but still my baby.

You have grown so much and continue to learn new things each day. I have watched you change from a tiny baby, watched you crawl all over until you decided to stand up and walk. Now you run around, always in a hurry to explore everything around you and absorb all that you can.

You notice everything now, and you constantly surprise me at the connections you make between items. You remember where things were and if they were moved, and you know where items are stored behind closed doors or cabinets.

I still marvel when you pat the food container when it is time to feed our dogs. You point at things you want, and I can see your mind working in specific ways.

I know this year has been a learning and growing experience for us both. You have experienced a few big changes, adapting to having Daddy away so much and then transitioning from having a nanny in our house to going out to daycare every day. It hasn’t always been easy, but together we have found our rhythm, and you seem to love daycare now. You have friends, are coming home with projects you have colored, and even have started saying a few words without prompting.


Milestones have always been on your terms and your timeline. I could only teach you something new if you were ready and willing to learn. You have taught me so much about myself while showing me your personality and quirks. This personality of yours will take you places we can only imagine.

You give the tightest hugs and the most enthusiastic high-fives. I love to watch how you interact with your loved ones over the phone video chat. I enjoy watching you play and listening to your squeals and babbles. I especially love to watch you make pretend phone calls on the TV remote, or with my shoe. You are already showing your imagination and intelligence.

I am looking forward to seeing what your second year brings, watching you grow and learn even more. Begin to have little conversations with you. See what new tasks you accomplish and master.

I love you, my sweet, silly boy.

    Mine just turned two. It seems just like yesterday she was on my chest and sleeping. Now she’s not sleeping and has a toy chest she can open. Time flies. Beautiful post.

    Sweet letter. I remember all those moments. My last is 19 months so we’ll be celebrating 2 soon too. You will be surprised and amazed continuously. Wait until he can tell you full paragraphs or when he first learns to read. It’s beautiful.

    He’s lucky to have such a loving mom! They’re super adaptable and adjust to whatever life throws them. Also remember that it’s the challenges we have that build character. Cheers from kidcandoodle

    So sweet! That is such a fun and precious age. It’s great that you’re taking the time to enjoy every minute. I can only imagine how hard it is with your hubby away for long periods of time, but you and your son will have that time together with just the two of you that can’t be replaced.

    My Doll is almost 18months old now and I can relate to EVEYTHING you said! I’m excited to hear her start saying words but for now I’m happy to listen to her babble. Especially into “phones.”
