Now we are two

Dear Lucas,

You have grown so much in the past year. You have learnt to walk and started to talk. Your favourite game at the moment is hide and seek. You love cars, and cuddling your stuffed doggie. You know your animals, and still give the best hugs. You are a social little one but you do like to recharge with time alone with us. You are starting to figure out blocks and love bubbles (which your Aunty Cams introduced you to).  You play with puzzles but have not quite figured out the jigsaws yet. You love music and dancing.

It has been tough for the last little while, and I have not been the mother that I would like to be, but I have been the best mother that I can be in the circumstances. We will keep muddling through and doing the best that we can.

We took our first trip into the bush a few weeks ago and you loved it, and had great fun pointing out “Bokkies!”

I am so blessed to have you in my life and love you more than words can express.

Happy birthday sweetheart!

Love,
Mom
