Two year olds have always made me nervous. They just seem so... volatile. Or at a minimum moody. A couple years ago I shuttered at the thought of having one of my own. As of today I'm officially a proud owner. He is moody and volatile (at times) but he's also happens to be funny, spunky and the reason I breathe. His high-highs and low-lows pull me as I watch him live life the way only a toddler can: in the moment, feeling (and expressing!) every ounce of happiness, sadness, disappointment and exhilaration. It's a kick. And yes, at times he makes me nervous, but he makes me so much more too. And I'll take that any day.

Welcome to the wonderful twos! Funny how some of these same behaviors show up in the teenage years--ie. high highs and low lows. All part of the journey. You're doing such a great job, Amanda! Thanks for being a wonderful mom to Jude.
