Almost Twooooo

IMG_6553
Dear Graham,
In two days you'll be two.
I can't believe it. It doesn't even seem possible.
You keep telling people you're "omost threeee".
Slow down there, Mr.

I'm soaking up this last day of my one year old.
My one year old who...

...told me "Mom, hit with driver".
...can fill in the words of "Splish Splash", "Ball Game", and "Come thou Fount".
...cheers when he sees "Big Jaff", makes a putt, or gets to watch Dinosaur Train. 
...says sorry about evvverything. (I wonder where he gets that?)
...asks to pray for Bennett or Mickey Mouse nightly. 

You are a precious soul, Graham. So smart, so silly, so darling.

Almost 2, but not yet...
