{219/365} I can hardly believe that in one week and one day my little boy will be two. I knew some relatives and friends would ask what they should get for his birthday, so I went back and looked at Emily's 2 year birthday photos. My heart broke a little when I saw her opening a small play kitchen and sitting on the floor sipping pretend tea with her new tea set. I knew Liam was not quite on that level and we would have to concentrate on more "therapy related" toys than anything else. He's different in so many ways and I have learned to embrace those differences the best way I can. One of my favorite photos is when Emily is sitting at her new easel, proudly drawing a picture...I just couldn't imagine Liam doing this. Coincidentally, my Mom had that very easel at her house and decided to bring it over today just to see if he would like it. I admit I didn't have high hopes but low and behold...here he is using that very same easel! Oh ye of little faith! I have officially learned my lesson and will never doubt that little boy again!
