ROAR

(action shot)
Our little Timmy turned 2 at the end of March. It was bittersweet as this is the first time I have had a child turn 2 without already having a 9 month-old baby or being 7 months pregnant. Being the youngest, he has older siblings that do most things for him, including talking. Timmy doesn’t care to say much but one word he uses frequently is “roar”. Whenever we are gathered around the kitchen table for a meal, Timmy has a tradition. In a sweet, soft voice he says, “roar” and waits for the person to “roar” back. He then moves in a clockwise pattern around the table roaring at each individual and they roaring in return. He then claps after the ritual is a success.
Timmy spent most of his birthday playing with balloons and chasing his siblings. He is such a fun addition to the family!
