Dear Sophie | today you are two

Dear Sophie

two years ago, our world changed.

Definitely for the better.

You are noisy, bright, funny, loving and joyous.

You love playing with water, your newest word is "tap"

You run screaming to the stairs when dad gets home

and wait patiently for Riley to finish school.

You wake Douglas every morning for school, and help him pack his bag for the day

You love baking cakes and pouring ingredients into bowls

and drink tea with dad when he's home

You run screaming when you see Amy or Molly

and always wave bye to Caitlin.

You drink 'beer' with dad on Saturday afternoons

and supervise gardening jobs

You love jumping in the water at the beach

and slipping down the slide.

Today you are two, Sophie

and you are so very loved.
