Journalling ~
This photo was taken at the Esplanade in Palmerston North on your second bithday. You look so happy, with your grin and dimples in your cheeks. You rode your bike all around the cafe courtyard and we had to keep running after you so you didn't drive into any of the other patrons' knees.

You're holding up the teddy that Great Nana Rose gave you when you were born. Back then, it was almost as big as you were - you were such a tiny, scrawny wee thing. Look at how big and healthy you are now. It makes my heart sing to see it. Now you're two, no-one would even know you had been born a whole three months too soon.

You look like any other happy two year old birthday boy and it makes me so happy to see it.
