2 Years!

Dear Delilah,

Happy Birthday!

Delilah's Birthday Pancake
You are two years old today. The day is only half over, and has already been filled with so much joy. It blows my mind that two years have passed since your birth. In what feels like the blink of an eye, you've gone from this:


To this:


In the two years I've spent as your mother, I have learned so much from you. I have learned more about my values and goals, and about what is most important to me in life. I have made progress in growing into the person I want to be, to living the life I want to live, in order to set the best example for you that I'm capable of. I've learned that no parent is perfect, and that I will mistakes. I've learned that making mistakes, and owning up to them, will allow you to learn much more from me than if I were some how capable of parenting perfectly.

You are growing and blossoming into one incredible little human being. Even at 2 years old, you radiate peace, empathy, beauty, and grace. You are a loving, friendly, accepting child with a hunger to explore and understand the world around you. You have given me the gift of truly understanding and experiencing unconditional love.

Happy Birthday Delilah. Thank you for the most challenging and wonderful two years of my life. Thank you for being my baby, and for making me a mother. Thank you for being the daughter I always hoped for, and more.

Love,

Mama

  1. Being a mother is a joy and a never ending learning process. You will continue learning even if it is your second or third or fourth child. Enjoy being a mother.
