This post is about two weeks too late. I was going to post it before Tadhg's second birthday to look back on when he's a grown man and I miss his adorable toddler self, but then life snowballed and I didn't have blogging time. So here it is--a bit late, but still serving its purpose.
I couldn't help myself. It was one of those golden days when being a mother is just so. stinking. fun. Tadhg was extra cute, and I was finding it hard to believe that he'd been alive for nearly two years. Now that he is two (birthday post coming soon, hopefully), I'm increasingly convinced that this will be my favorite age yet. Imagination and learning and language are popping off like fireworks every which way, and it's incredibly fun to watch. I took all these videos in one day, and even though it's only two weeks later I already feel like they're becoming obsolete. He's quite literally talking more every day. I know he's a normal toddler doing normal toddler things, but since I'm his mother I'm to be humored in my delight in him, no?
If I didn't like him so much myself, I'd rent him out so other people could enjoy his antics first-hand, too.
