Dear Asher: 2 Years

Dear Asher,

Happy second birthday!! This is my favorite time--I wish we could bottle it up and keep it forever. You are such a fun little guy. You love nothing more than giving big hugs and kisses and being held. You're also funny and love to make people laugh. You're curious and enjoy making big messes and "testing gravity" by throwing food everywhere.


Your language has really exploded. This month you started using three-word sentences like, "go outside now." Outside is still your favorite place to be, and you love blowing bubbles (dumping the bubbles on the ground), playing with chalk, running in the grass, or swimming in the pool.

You're very polite, which I love. You say please and thank you for almost everything. And, although you make big messes, you also like to clean up. Your two most used words are "trash" and "napkin." You love throwing every little speck of trash away. Whether it actually is trash or not is up for debate, but we love the good intention.


Playing pretend is a new fun activity. You love pretending to be a puppy. You'll pant and bark and play fetch. It's hilarious. You also love pretending that your food is some sort of vehicle. Trucks, trains, cars, boats...it doesn't matter. You have sounds to go with all of them.


This month we went to visit your babushka and dedushka in Florida, and you had a few firsts. First time holding a baby alligator, and first time flying business class! Hard to say which experience was more fun.



You are at the age where everything you do is adorable. Yes, even your tantrums are pretty cute. Probably because I know worse is coming. For now though, I'll sit back and enjoy these toddler days. Ash, happiest of happy birthdays. We love you to the moon and back!
