Your Second Birthday

Bentley,
I really want to tell you about your second birthday party! We celebrated it on March 2nd.  It was an OKC Thunder themed party.  Decorating for the party was pretty easy since we are big Thunder fans.  I went to the store the night before and bought lots of balloons in orange and blue with a Thunder balloon and had them bundled together.  I put them in the entry hallway.  Next thing I know, you are running down the hallway with the happiest expression on your face with the balloons flying behind you!  You had grabbed the strings and just took off running in wild abandon.  I will never forget that happy face you had!
We had about 30 people over to celebrate your birthday.   I dressed you in a cute shirt with a Thunder tie. We had sandwiches and cake then opened lots of presents.  Afterward, all the guys went outside to play baskerball.  You were determined to join them outside.  So I took you out there after their big game was over.  You would throw the ball two feet in the air then yell, "YAY!!!" and clap while looking at me to get the same reaction.  So I would cheer and clap too.  You were so excited to get to play with the big boys.  I loved watching you laugh and cheer after every shot.  Even though you are 2 now, you are still my sweet, happy baby!!  I love that you show me everyday how innocent and simple life can be.
I love you, happy boy!!!

Learning New Things

Dear Bentley,

You are sitting in front of my with a whole bunch of little letters.  You are picking each one up individually and telling me their name.  You are like a sponge!  You are learning so much so quick.  We have taught you how to spell your name.  You yell, "B-E-N-T-L-E-Y, Ben-Wee!"  It is so cute how you say your name!  You also know a lot of shapes, how to count to ten, you know you animals and the sounds they make, and you are learning your colors.  I never knew how easy it would be to teach these things to you.  But you love learning new things.  I'm a very lucky Mommy to have you.
I love you, Buddy!
