The Terrible Twos Begin

Today my son, X, celebrates his second birthday. I’ve pondered many things to write about this occasion, but I think I said it best on my Father’s Day post:

In the past [two] years, my son, X, has developed into a rascal who keeps me on my toes. However, he knows that he only has to say “Dada” in his cute, little baby voice and everything is right in my world.

Unfortunately, I am in Poland now and cannot celebrate with him (last year, I was in Iraq for my son, N’s, birthday). However, I would like to wish X a happy birthday and tell him, “Daddy loves you.”

Stay Strong,

4 Felicia - I Complete Me August 20, 2009 at 10:50 am: Happy Birthday to X. I got one more year until I reach those twos, but my son is sure acting a bit terrible at times.
5 Daddy Dan August 20, 2009 at 11:58 am: Happy Birthday to X. And your quote from your Father’s Day post hit close to home. Be careful over there, MD!

8 Christie-The ChatterBox August 21, 2009 at 3:51 am: Aw, Happy Birthday, X! My son turned two in May. I think he’s been in the “terrible twos” since birth! Poland, eh? No wonder we haven’t gotten and philosophical tweets in a bit!
9 MyBrownBaby August 21, 2009 at 5:16 am: Aw, happy birthday lil’ man! Today is my son’s birthday, too… he’s 17. And still quite the rascal.
Get back home safe, MD!

Enjoy him!

14 Erica@BeautifulBrownBabies August 26, 2009 at 12:45 pm: Happy Birthday to X! Isn’t it something how they figure us out in so little time?? Like Tom, I keep hearing that 3 is WORSE and my munchkin turns 3 next week. Yikes!
