One day, they’re going to stop saying “hold me.”
And you won’t know which time was the last time.
That’s the strange thing about motherhood.
The days can feel so long when you’re in them.
The snack requests.
The toys everywhere.
The tiny shoes you keep tripping over.
The bedtime routine that somehow requires seventeen additional glasses of water.
The little voice calling “MOMMY!” approximately 847 times before lunch. (My granddaughter we call baby bird with a constant 'mama, mama, mama' candence.
And then suddenly…
They’re TWO.
Two.
How did that happen?
Yesterday, you were counting their age in months.
Now they’re running through the house with frosting on their face, blowing out a candle they’ll probably try to grab two seconds later. 😂
And everyone tells you, “Enjoy it. It goes so fast.”
But no one really explains what that means.
It means one day you’ll pack away the 2T pajamas.
One day those tiny mispronounced words will disappear.
One day they won’t reach both arms up when they want you.
One day you’ll look at a photo from their second birthday and wonder how the little person in that picture became the big kid standing in front of you.
That’s why we celebrate the little things.
The cake.
The balloons.
The ridiculous amount of frosting.
The pictures.
And yes… the tiny candle on top.
Because it was never *just* a number.
It was **two**.
Two years of watching a whole little personality appear.
Two years of kisses and cuddles and chaos.
Two years of becoming their safe place.
Two years of loving someone so much it almost hurts to watch them grow.
So light the candle.
Take too many pictures.
Let them lick the frosting.
Sing Happy Birthday loudly.
Because you don’t get this exact version of them forever.
And someday, that tiny little “2” might be the thing that takes you right back to the year they still fit perfectly in your arms. 🤍
🎂 Celebrating TWO soon? Our EnFête 2 Birthday Candle was made for this little moment you’ll want to remember forever.
