Two years old - I can’t believe it.
Two years of dirt under tiny fingernails, monster truck roars shaking the house, and pointing at every single airplane in the sky like it was launched just for you. Two years of swinging a bat with everything you’ve got and lighting up when the ball actually connects.
You’re tough, you’re curious, and you’ve already got strong opinions — mostly about which truck is the coolest and why bedtime is a scam. You’re all boy, with a heart as big as the trucks you love.
Some of my favorite moments are the ones nobody else sees. Our nightly sunset and wrestling matches. You crouched down studying a bug like it’s the most important thing in the world — and in that moment, it is.
Being your dad is the best thing I’ve ever done. Watching you become a big brother this year has been such a joy. The way you love on him one second and torture him the next, kissing his head and then stealing whatever’s in his hand. You’re figuring out you’re somebody’s hero now, even if you’re still working out the job description.
So here’s to you, my little man. To more home runs, more flyovers, and more sunsets. I’ll be in your corner for all of it — front row, loudest voice, proudest dad around.
Happy 2nd birthday Kaden 💙
