Happy Birthday to My Sweet Baby Boy!

When I was younger keeping track of time simply meant thinking about my birthday, watching the year go by and not thinking very much of it. For some reason, birthdays have never given me pause, they come and go like the tide and I am just happy for one more year on planet Earth.

This has changed with the birth of my son. I am able to watch the time pass like clockwork - every new word, each step, new abilities, everything indicates that my son is getting older (and I am too). Today I celebrate my son's second birthday. We have kept it low-key, cupcakes at daycare have been the extent of the celebration today. Tomorrow I may take him to the Aquarium and when his grandmother comes to town we will have a family celebration.

It is so hard to believe how quickly the time has gone but I count every moment as precious(even the hectic ones and admit I am happy that his first public falling out episode occurred with grandma and not me!).

Happy Birthday Mekhi!
