George-Ephraim, or Geo, or Georgie Boy, or Vubbie, or The Vubs as he is usually called.....
was born in the wee hours of the morning on April 27th two years ago today,
directly above my head where I type this,
a smooshie-lipped, curly-headed boy
a boy who brings joy
so much joy and love,
more than I could ever imagine one little boy bringing to a family,
yet his joy spreads much farther,
as he offers this joy to everyone he passes,
rosy-red cheeks glowing with delight,
smiles spread like ripples on the mouths of those in his presence...
oh, little boy, thank you for your joy!

Things to know about George, The Two Year Old:Favorite food: hummus, just straight up with a spoon. the more garlic the better.
Favorite song: Changes by David Bowie
STILL likes to be swaddled to fall asleep. He has a special blanket for this--his "Mi-Mi" blanket which is a fleece Nightmare Before Christmas blanket.
A day is not a day without walking to the mailbox with Papa.
He never fails to say sorry ("Waaah-reee") or thank you (Day Do!") when the occasion arises. In fact he gets irritated if he thanks me for dinner and I don't say "You're welcome."
He loves shoes. Prefers them to bare feet. Walks on his toes if his feet are bare so they won't touch the floor.
If I were to use one word to describe George it would be: delight (he is both delighted at everything around him and delightful to be around.)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GEORGIE BOY!!!!!!
