Your're 2 years and 9 months and forever my little man

 Hey Buddy! I can't believe how much older you are since my last post! You are an amazing little man with quite an amazing life ahead of you. I have always used the word 'passionate' to describe you and it is becoming more and more true as you get older. You are a ball of energy and full of joy and you can turn that joy on a dime and be completely devastated. You feel deeply and I feel so bad for you sometimes because you don't have the words you need to tell me what's wrong. Don't get me wrong, you have an AMAZING vocabulary and a great grasp of how to use it for your age (you impress many!) but you feel so strongly sometimes that I wish you could put some of it into words. But what am I saying? I can't even do that sometimes :)
 In the past few weeks, you've taken to coming into my room at night (for many reasons) but you love to 'lay in bed for a little while'. I let you crawl up in the bed and cover you all nice and cozy with me and daddy and you fall asleep immediately. I know it's best for you to go back to your room but many times I toy with the idea of letting you stay the night. After I mull it over for a while I slide out of bed and scoop you up and put you pack in your snug little bed. I love to hear you breathe and see that sweet peaceful face. You are a blessing to me from God and I hope you never forget it. I love you passionately and whole heartedly with a love that is exclusively yours.
 I'm so thankful for you sweet Jacob and I'm proud of the person you are becoming. You are going to be a game changer in this world. Sleep tight my little man.
