To My Dashy,
Tonight on the eve of the second year of Your birth, I can't help but be overwhelmed with A Love that cannot accurately be described; though through this letter, I will do my best.
I reflect on this very day two years ago...
Even though You were still inside my belly, I held such Adoration for You and knew our Bond was already so strong! Upon Your arrival and being placed into my arms, my life was Forever Changed.
You've grown into such a Silly, Chatterbox, Dancing, and Singing Adorable Little Boy...who Exudes True Warmth!
Your Smile is Infectious, Your Laugh Contagious, and Your Sweetness equates to such a Brilliant Purity! You truly do capture all of the hearts with whom You meet!
Dashy, You have and continue to teach me that any hardship can be overcome simply by applying Trust, Belief, and Patience.
You're cheering section has been vast and Your Daddy and I will never forget the Great Friends and Family for which we were able to lean at times of worry.
The strides for which You've made this year through therapy has been nothing short of Inspiring; and watching You come into Your Own grants my mind Peace and sends my Heart Soaring beyond the Universe!
Upon testing just three days shy of Your second birthday it was determined that You are now at the average level of a 25 month old in Gross Motor Skills...which is a jump of 16 months in the short 9 months for which You've been treated!
You have Grown not just in weight and height, but in overall Mind and Body Strength, and all who Know and Love You are Beaming with Joy!
My Wish was that You would be able to walk by 18 months and run and keep up with Camden by the end of the summer; and You, my Sweet boy, made Mommy's Dreams Come True! Watching You and Camden interact is a Marvelous site- one that brings tears of Extreme Happiness and Relief to my eyes.
Whether it be sitting at the table "conversing" with one another, fighting over who gets to play with which car at the train table, running through the backyard kicking a soccer ball together, or rocking out during one of our daily dance parties, I'm convinced that the Two of You are Destined to be Forever Friends!
I still can't get over how Tiny You seem all wrapped up in Your new Big Boy Bed!
Tonight when I tucked You in, we sang our favorite songs: Twinkle Twinkle and Bushel and a Peck, but added in the tune Happy Birthday:
Happy Birthday You You, Happy Birthday You You, Happy Birthday Dashton Boooo Weeeeburrrrr, Happy Birthday You You is what you sang.
In those moments I couldn't help but get lost in the Love I have for You ...it was Always in my Heart but has Grown Beyond Fathom!
And as it came time for us to say goodnight, You looked at me with Your Gorgeous Eyes of Innocence and exclaimed: Cuddle Me... and so I gladly stayed a little while longer.
Each and every night before I go to bed, I Peak in at You, Watch You in Your most Peaceful State, and Smile with Gratitude from Every Ounce of My Being that I was chosen to be Your Mommy!
Happy Second Birthday My Sweet Dashy...My Little Shoon Doon!
I Love You More Than I'll Ever Be Able To Express!
