To my son.... on his 24th month
24 things I love about you. (blatently stolen from www.notesfromthetrenches.com)
1. that you love to curl up next to me to sleep with your toes pressed into my side - even if it does remind me to cut your toenails.
2. that you are a full contact eater.
3. that when you find a penny you run through the house chanting "money, money, money"
4. that you want me to change the words of "the wheels on the bus" to "the wheels on the blue car"

12. How you are always so excited to get to daycare
