A matter of choice

Happy Birthday Louka mou,

Today you are two years old!  I'm not sure if you really understand what your birthday means but I know every time it's been mentioned you say 'party?'  which is closely followed by 'cake?'so  I can assure you we will indeed be having a party today and there will definitely be cake.

You are a real little character now, with an ever increasing vocabulary. We can understand lots of what you say now, and Leo is even better at working out what you'd like than we are.

Speaking of 'your Leo' we are all pleased you have finally started calling him by the right name.  It's been a mystery to us all why you've insisted on calling him 'Mordy' for so long. As entertaining as it was it drove Leo crazy and left us all wondering why you refused to even try and say 'Leo' when you attempt to say pretty much anything else!

You are just on the verge of putting all your words together to make sentences now and it amuse…

We don't usually 'do' cards in this house, so this morning I posted this to Aaron's facebook page.  I was however surprised (and  hugely outdone!)  by his lovely offering...... not just a photo but he'd gone much further than 'googling' a quote, he's written his own poem to mirror his wedding speech from 10 years ago....



It’s been 10 years now that you have been my wife and that is about a quarter of my life that we have spent together in wedded bliss even if at times it’s been hit and miss
So 10 years ago I did my speech in rhyme and it seemed appropriate at this time that I should do another to honour an era in which some of our dreams have got nearer and nearer
We've had 2 great kids and moved far away although we have done these things in our own special way  are we as happy today as the day we were wed the answer is yes if the truth be said
So even after 10 long years  of sharing all our hopes and fears all that remains for me to say is I love you more today …
