So, Liam's turning two.
I've been trying to deny this was coming. I was late in setting up his doctor's appointment. I have his birthday party scheduled for MUCH later this month. And when someone at work asked me what I was going to do for Liam's birthday? My answer - "ignore it."
You think if I just ignore the fact that it's June 3 he won't turn two? He'll stop acting older? He'll stop insisting, "me do it!"?
I still want to take pictures of him sleeping in his crib. I don't want to get him a big boy bed.
I still want to tickle him silly while I change his diapers. I don't want to potty train him.
Sometimes I think Liam gets a raw deal having his birthday right at the end of the school year. With everything going on at work, it makes sense that I don't have time to do a proper birthday post, or have his party actually close to his birthday. But honestly, it has nothing to do with work and everything to do with the fact that I am not ready for my baby to be two. Maybe in a few weeks I'll be able to do a better birthday post - but for now - I'm just going to go hug my baby and cry.

big hugs, Cathy!
it's a very bittersweet time for sure! Happy birthday to Liam, and much love to the momma that helped him get here.
xxoo!
Happy birthday, Liam! (And hugs to you, Cathy. I'm rapidly approaching that day myself. These kids grow too darn fast.)
I totally understand! I feel similar about Shea and seeing YOUR Liam turn 2 makes ME sad as well.
Maybe that's why I pushed Liam for a combined party later in the summer. Maybe it's not cause I'm lazy!
I still hold Shea in a baby cradle hold when we sing songs with lights out before bed. Having so little hair makes it easier to pretend he's not becoming a big boy. Even when he shouts "I dih ihhh!" (I did it!) after accomplishing something.
Hugs and hand holding through the birthday of twos.
Oh but lest I forget...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIAM!
