Will turned 2 years old yesterday and while he is still in a state of sugar-induced euphoria, I am in a state of age-induced denial. It is so hard to image that 2 years can pass by so quickly. That’s 730 days…. or 17,520 hours… or 1,051,200 minutes… or 63,072,000 seconds! But I gotta tell you… those 63 millions seconds have been the best seconds of my life ( and yes, I am purposefully leaving off the 72,000 seconds as they can be chalked up to dirty diapers, spitting up, and other parent-duty-unpleasantries).

We actually started the birthday extravaganza Sunday morning (the day before) and concluded last night and it was so much fun! At 2 years old, Will “gets” things now and it is such a pleasure to watch him enjoy the fun of a birthday. It is really quite amazing to imagine that such a tiny 7 pound baby can develop into an intelligent, caring little man in such a short period of time. I am very proud of the person he is becoming and am also quite proud of the parents that Jess and I have become. It’s definately a learning game, but one that is both challening and rewarding nearly every one of those 17,520 hours. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for all us, but until then…. I am gonna eat some more cake!
