You're two! I can't believe it, and yet I so can. You are such an adorable little boy now with very strong opinions and desires.
You love the song, "Happy Birthday," but you always say it, "Happy Birthday to-da-loo." So, when I was trying to get you to say you were going to be 2, you'd always answer with "two-da-loo." Seriously so cute!
Today you had your two year old well child check up, and everything is looking great. You are 3 ft. tall, and weigh 32 lbs. You are pretty much a brilliant little two year old as well, and the doctor told me to get ready to advocate for your rights as a gifted kid in school.
You are so special to me, and part of me just wants you to stay my little baby. I held and cuddled with you for a bit on Saturday evening, telling your daddy that I just wanted to hold my one-year old for the last time. I hope that we will always have this special connection.
I love you Matthew, and I'm excited to see what this coming year has in store for you.
Love,
Mommy

My Matthew Man
Dear Matthew,
Obviously Mommy is not so great at writing these letters regularly!
You are seriously just the cutest little boy around. You will be two in a few weeks, and I can't believe how much like a boy you are and not a baby now. You want to do everything the big kids are doing, and you get very frustrated and struggle to understand why when you're not allowed to. You especially feel betrayed when I put you down for a nap but let Natalie watch a show for quiet time. Someday you'll understand, I promise!
What a vocabulary you have, and it's growing and growing. You can identify all your letters, most of your numbers, you count objects up to ten, and sometimes further. You know your colors fairly well, and you're figuring out your shapes right now. I am AMAZED at how quickly you learn and retain information.
You are also a little stinker. You have the cutest little grin, and you know how to use it. When I tell you not to do something, most of the time you'll grin at me and try to get away with it anyway. You also can run away, pretty fast.
We're starting you in gymnastics tomorrow, and you also took a Mommy and Me swim class this summer. You are so comfortable in the water, and want to do your own thing. The teacher allowed the students to go off the diving board the last day (because you wanted to!), and you literally wanted to jump in. I handed you down in jumping position to the teacher. Your example prompted all the other kids in the class to go off the board too! I hope you'll continue to be a role model for GOOD things during your life.
Nursery is one of your favorite places to be, and you've really been easy to transition there. I hope that will be the case when we move to Utah at the end of this year.
You keep life fun, and my heart is just full of love for you.
Love,
Mommy
