day no. 17,374: two times two (knox and eulalie turn two)

Happy Birthday, wonder twins!

Today is two times two day. What a blessing!

Knox, you are the butteriest boy. Of all the buster browns, you're the busty browniest. You are a quiet little lad. You keep to yourself. You are calm until you aren't. When you get frustrated you melt into a puddle. You are a tiny mama's boy. There are some problems no one else can solve. Sometimes you just need your mom and she is the only one who will do. You have a great laugh. You dig deep when you find something really funny. You like to shake hands unless you don't know or recognize the person and then you don't even want them looking at you. You retreat somewhere deep inside and hope that they stop looking at you. 

Eulalie, you are the beaniest babe. Of all the beanie babies, you are the beanie babiest. You are a loud little lady. You are outgoing and energetic. You run everywhere. When you get frustrated you get loud. Or should I say, louder. You are a daddy's girl. There are some problems no one else can solve. Sometimes you just need your daddy. You like to smile with your teeth. You are a baby shark. You are smart and you like to babble. You like your milk cup full. If you take a drink, you want it filled up again before you take another. You like being the center of attention and seek out the spotlight.

You two are so much fun. You are so distinct and the contrast is only highlighted by the fact that you share a birthday. Of all people who you'd think would be the same, it would be twins, but in your case, you are very different. One is a boy, the other is a girl. One is pudgy, the other is wiry. One is quiet, the other is loud. One doesn't like attention, the other does. One ambles along, the other runs. One sometimes falls back from going too slowly, the other sometimes falls forward from going too quickly. You complement each other very well. 

I love you babies and I am so excited to watch you both grow up and become the grown up versions of what God has so clearly already designed you to be respectively.

Happy Birthday, da babies.

Love,

Dad
