Dear Aidan,
Happy belated second birthday! A year ago I started writing you these letters never realizing just how much I'd grow to enjoy putting down these words for you. Daddy and I have been so incredibly blessed to have you (and your sister) in our lives.
What I want to remember most about your second year is your never ending supply of energy. I know that most kids your age are filled with energy, but you seem to have an insane amount trapped in that tiny little body of yours. I'm not sure where you hide it, but could I possibly borrow some? You won't miss it, I promise. You'll most likely want to remember that this is the second year in a row you've received a pet for your birthday (last year you got Zelda the dog; this year it was Fish the fish). I don't think Daddy is going to let you go for a Hat Trick by getting you another pet next year, but you never know...
Last night was your first night in your big boy bed. You were so excited when you first saw that you could climb in and out of your own bed now so I didn't think there would be any problems getting you to go to sleep. I was wrong...sort of. There were a few tears (and they weren't all yours) at first, but after I sat with you for a little while, you willingly laid down and went to sleep. You looked so grown up when Daddy and I checked on you before we went to bed.
Daddy and I love you so very much.
Love, Mama
