Eid mīlad sa'aīd- Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to the coolest dude we know, Corbyn Thomas! Yes, time sure does fly when you are having fun and we have been having a lot of it.  We are so in love with your smile, your laugh, and everything else that comes along with being you.  You are the only you and that will remain until the end of time.  We are just the parents that are blessed to raise you.  Life isn’t ever perfect which means you aren’t but we love all your imperfections too. 

This is what excites me about 2!

Insert from What to Expect website:

“She’s just eager to learn — and even if she knows the answer, she gets a real kick out of eliciting a response from you. Intellectually, that little brain is bursting with activity — arranging things into categories (dogs and cats are animals; pants and sweaters are clothes). Her memory is much more sophisticated than just a few months ago and she’s beginning to understand abstract concepts such as “now” versus “later” and “more” versus “less.” But that doesn’t mean there won’t be a few steps backward along the way, e.g., potty-training reversals (usually an emotional control issue, not a physical one) or a sudden fear of the kindly pediatrician whom she’s known all her life. (Fear of dentists and haircuts are pretty common, too.)”

You already have grown so much from the time we left the US until the time we have been in Bahrain (3 weeks).  To me that’s just nuts! It is hard to keep track of the new things you do and say. This is by far the best part of 2! We are over the moon excited to teach you everything we can.  The teacher inside me is dying to come out and play.  So here is to another wonderful year of life! A year of learning and growing together. A year that will have it’s ups and downs but we wouldn’t want to spend it with any other little dude in the world!

Here’s to you Corbyn Thomas! The best thing that has ever happened to us! We love you to infinity and beyond…or as you say it…finity beyond.
