Thing 2 Turns Two

So another milestone has come to pass, and now there are no longer any babies in this house. As I wipe away a little tear, I still marvel at my two little gentlemen…they are my little Thing 1 and Thing 2, and this week we celebrated our Thing 2’s second birthday, with a house full of running, climbing, yelling, happy kids, and doting grandparents- so of course it was wonderful!

The sun did not shine.
It was snowing all day.
So we sat in the house
And partied away.

I had fun with family,
And my brother did too.
And I said, “How I’m glad
We have something to do!”

“Look at me!
Look at me!
Look at me NOW!
It is fun to have fun
But you have to know how.”

“Just look at us and
You’ll see something new
Two things. And they call us
Thing One and Thing Two.

“We Things do not bite you.
We want to have fun.
We just love to play,”
Said Thing Two and Thing One.

At the end of the day
Mother and father said,
“Did you have lots of fun?”
Oh yes, yes we did!
