He's a roller coaster
Up's and downs and all around
You don't know which way he's turning, which direction, or how high
The only constant is that he does everything fast
He's two, almost three, and has more depth than a ninety year old
You can see it in his eyes, hear it in his voice
When he wants to be alone, he means with one of us
When he wants to play, he means with one of us
And no one at the same time
He's complicated
And wonderful
He picked me a flower today, it was his idea, and he was so proud
Ten minutes later he was sitting in time out because he wasn't listening to us
Sometimes I worry we don't hear him, understand him
And I tell myself, he's only two
But he's all of two
Everything it can embody
We love every inch of him, every moment
We're buckled in for this crazy ride
Arms reaching high to the sky during the highs
Arms holding tight as we navigate the unknown corners
We're here for the ride
