T buddy! You are now 17 months old and your brother is due in a month. As I spend my days with you I am so thankful for your smiles and kisses and health. You are a loving little boy with a curiosity for the things around you and your boundaries. You are testing what you are allowed to do these days. It can wear me out but I know it is all part of you becoming independent and is all part of being a kid. I love your spirit. I'm excited to see you become a big brother. You are learning to be gentle with your cousin Nicolai and your friend Gavin. You absolutely love throwing and you are good at it. We are working on just throwing balls, not hard toys, especially with the babies around.
You are teaching me how to be a better communicator. To be clear and to say what I mean. You are teaching me the power of a smile, the warmth of a hug and the love of a mom I could never explain. It's crazy to think we will soon have your little brother to share our days with and love as well. I'm looking so forward to him and at the same time wondering how it'll change my time with you. All part of being a family and transitioning and growing our love. It will be fun to watch you two grow together, learn to share, enjoy playing and become buddies. I know there will be fights in there as well. Some that will make me secretly chuckle and some that will make me secretly cry.
I thank God for you and the time we have together.
I love you Tyden.
