To Boston on your 2nd birthday

Boston,

Today you are two years old.  THE best two years of my life.  I cannot express how amazed and proud of you that I am.  You have grown leaps and bounds over the past few months.  Talking way more, repeating some things we say (oops) and have become your own little independent self.  Just the other night you woke up crying and I tried to rock you back to sleep.  I haven't done this in MONTHS.  Your legs now dangle off of the chair. You no longer want/need me to rock you. 
I remember the nights when I had to rock you to sleep and I miss them so much. I hope to never forget the way that made me feel. I long for those times again. I'm thankful that you can put yourself to sleep now, but I miss those earlier days.
I went to check on you last night before we went to be and you were hanging off of your toddler bed.  It broke my heart.  Its time to get you a big boy bed.  I'm so glad you are healthy and growing but its bittersweet.  I cried myself to sleep last night looking at your newborn pictures. It's hard to believe you were that small.
We have approximately 6 months before baby brother or sister comes along.  6 months of you, me and daddy.  6 months to devote as much time and attention to you as possible. 6 months of you being an only child.  I know you will make the best big brother and I can't wait to see the bond between you and the little one.  Your mom and dad has never had that sibling bond. 
I hope you understand one day the love that we have for you.  I can assume that will only happen when you have children of your own.  I honestly had no idea that I could love so much until I had you.  My life was changed and I cannot imagine living life without you.  I love your sweet hugs and kisses. The way you sit right next to me on the couch to watch TV.  Every little thing about you.
  You are the sweetest little man ever, and my baby you will always be!

Love you bunches,
Mom
