Dearest Remington, I cannot believe I am the mother of a two year old! The days have just flown by as you have grown and matured...I have learned soo much being your Mommie and I am so glad we share this special journey. On the day you were born one of my good friends told me to remember that there would be times that would be frustrating because as I was learning to be a Mom, you were learning to be a little boy at the age and stage you were in. I am so grateful for this advice because it has made each of our days full of wonder. For me, each day is a day to be cherished -- all because you are in it.
On Saturday, March 17th, the day before your birthday, we called Grandma Halverson. You were so excited and sang her the sweetest rendition of "Happy Birthday To You" over the phone. Later that day Mommie picked up birthday cookies for you. My dear friend Crystal Burr, who is a Nurse at MWMC, made them. They were sugar cookies shaped like stars with a yummy mint frosting. She also made the cutest bear in honor of you, sweetheart...it seemed like you knew a celebration of HUGE proportions was going to occur, because you were so well behaved and went to bed like a gem.
The very next day, Sunday, March 18th, Daddy and I walked into your room and said "Good Morning Sunshine," which is our typical greeting but then we praised you for being two and sang "Happy Birthday." Afterwards Daddy fixed you a special pancake breakfast because we told you it was your special day. When we asked what you wanted you said: "pancake." You didn't eat much -- I think it was because you sensed the excitement that your Dad and I felt at you having a birthday!!!
We took you to McDonald's for lunch for a Happy Birthday Happy Meal...then you opened presents. You particularly liked helping Dad put your Master Chef Kitchen together and the Train book Aunt Joyce sent you. You also loved your ATV...after opening presents, we went to Cold Stone Creamery -- an ice cream/cake specialty shop. We got ice cream cup cakes for your birthday then went home to celebrate. Mommie put two candles on the cupcake you picked (a blue one) then Dad and I sang "Happy Birthday to Remington." You knew just what to do, which I am not exactly sure HOW because you haven't been around many who blew out candles on their cakes, and Mom didn't have a birthday cake with candles this year...but with your knowledge, you so steadily huffed on the candles and blew them out after Mommie said: "make a wish, Reme."
I am not sure what you wished for, but the smile on your face was priceless...I hope you have many priceless and treasured memories your whole entire life...
Love Forever and X Infinity,
Mommie.
