Happy 2nd Birthday Jack Grayson

Dear Jack,

I can't believe you are already two.  I feel like we were just having your First Fiesta!  You are the sweetest, most caring little boy I've ever known and I can't wait to see what another year will bring all of us. 

We are gearing up for your Mickey Mouse themed birthday party because you just love Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  I never thought I'd be one to throw a Disney character-themed party until I saw your love for Mickey.  We are having your party at one of your favorite places, The Little Gym, where you have been going since before learning to walk. 

At two years old you love Mickey (of course), animals, cars, trucks, trains, airplanes, puzzles and books.  You rotate between your favorite stuffed animals, but right now your favorite is Mr. Shark, or "kark" as you call him.  Your favorite books these days are Goodnight Moon, Llama Lllama Red Pajama, The Quiet Book (still) and Little Blue Truck. And you still are never without your blankie, or "mimi" as you have started calling it. 

You are wearing 2T and 3T clothing and size 5-6 diapers.  You are Mr. Personality at home, but sometimes get a little shy in new places or with large crowds.  We love that you aren't sad going to the church nursery anymore.  You love your "Nana" and she just took you to the Downtown Houston Aquarium for a birthday celebration this week where your favorite animal was the white tiger.  You loved to growl at it and announce to everyone when it had to "pee-pee." 

You love being outside - whether it's a walk to the neighborhood park or just playing with chalk or bubbles on the driveway.  You also love your brother, Tucker or "Kucker" as you call him.  He hasn't quite warmed up to all of your poking and proding yet, but I'm sure you are growing on him. 

You love to eat chicken, mac & cheese, avocado, cuties and strawberries.  Although you love eating fruit, I'm having a harder time getting you to eat veggies these days.  You still love bath time and your bedtime routine.  Although you are giving us a hard time on your daytime nap, you are the best sleeper at night so I can't complain too much.  You generally sleep from 8pm-7am everyday. 

We love you so much Jack Grayson!  This year I'm so excited for you to start learning to swim, start preschool in the fall and become a big brother!  What an exciting year you have ahead of you.  I hope you stay a mommas boy...please, please, please.  Happy birthday my little pumpkin! 

Love,
Momma
