Two? How is that possible already?

There are just over 9 hours before Sammy officially turns 2.

TWO!

I got our weekly babycenter.com email, and every week, the subject has read: "Your Toddler this week." Now? Your PRESCHOOLER.

PRESCHOOLER.

We had his little birthday party today at a local playground, complete with party hats and cupcakes and all the things one would expect at a typical toddler (oops, sorry, PRESCHOOLER ) party. Sammy has been talking about it for weeks, listing all the friends who would be there, how we were going to sing, and the candles - oh, the candles! Even though he was so uncomfortable with a miserable cold, he still went to bed with a huge grin on his face.

(I have a PRESCHOOLER? How did THAT happen?)

In about nine hours, my little boy will turn 2. What a two years they've been - and we couldn't have a more amazing little boy to show for it all.

Oh, I'm so glad you posted that video. I was hoping it was up so that I could see that beautiful smile again. Priceless!

Thank you for sharing your handsome son with us. He is delightful.

I love that smile, Happy Birthday Sammy! :)

Happy birthday, Sammy! He gets cuter by the day :)

I love how he's nodding at the beginning as if to say, "Yeah that's right, bring me the cake."
Happy birthday, Sammy!

Happy Birthday Sammy!

Two years have gone by fast! I feel like I found your blog just yesterday and started following Sammy's story (in utero).

Dylan's already started walking around the house singing "Happy [birth] Day!" in preparation for his - and it's still 3 months away! So I can imagine what it was like in your house the few weeks leading up to the big day!

We're thinking about coming up to your neck of the woods again this summer. Hopefully we can get together again!

Keep an eye on that PRESCHOOLER and give him a big hug from us!

Happy birthday, Sammy! Cake for everyone!

I'm so behind.
Happy belated 2nd Birthday Sammy. That was just the cutest clip I've ever seen.

I have no idea how he's two already. I think it was just yesterday that I stumbled upon your blog for the first time. You were halfway through your pregnancy with the now-little-preschooler.

I know I'm really late in saying this -- but HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMMY!!!!!

And BabyCenter.com? I consider a 2 year old a toddler still, thankyouverymuch.

I'm a mama! SleepydoodleLittle Samson Daniel was born on February 24th, 2006. Sammy was born with a congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). He underwent his first open heart surgery at 4 days old and his second at 5 months old. He will need another surgery when he's between 2 and 3 years old. His mama and daddy, however, think he's absolutely perfect. You can read all about his birth here, or all about him on his site, baby samson.
