You are ONE

Hi, this is your Daddy checking in with you now that you are one. I love you and I want you to know that from day 1 you are special to me and special to all of us. You will have undoubtedly heard many times the story of how you are a miracle but I think most of my life is a miracle and this makes me much more grateful, I recommend it. It's a miracle I met your mum & it's a miracle she was/is so wonderful. Noah is a miracle and so are you! I love you both totally and completely.

You love 'Cat' mostly at the moment or at least saying it. You actually love Beau the dog a lot & putting things inside other things. You are just a great ball of fun. We call you Captain Tiny because you were so tiny when you were born, you are actually enormous now but too late it's stuck!! Noah is looking forward to you joining our family running club which we all love going to but since you're not walking yet it could be some time!! 

Here's a quote to get you started,

'Damn everything but the circus...damn everything that is grim, dull, motionless, unrisking, inward turning, damn everything that won't get into the circle, that won't enjoy. That won't throw its heart into the tension, surprise, fear and delight of the circus, the round world, the full existence...' E E Cummings

I wish I'd known I could get stuck in when I was I was young rather than have a fear of failure. I want you to enjoy failing so that you can try new things without being fearful. You can always enjoy the circus inside with whatever might be going on outside. Life is good, you should enjoy it.

Right I have to go to bed as you were up at 3am!?!?! I will finish this over the next few days

You are now walking and destroying!?! You are amazing!
