Time catcher
running on the silvery beach
miles of sand and sea shelves
some broken into tiny pieces
some whole
after their unknown journey
the view of endless blue
the sound of calm
your innocent smile
your hair dancing in the wind
like time
I want to catch you
and keep you in my arms forever

2 years & 9 months
Dear Monkey,
Just 3 months away from your 3rd birthday. And little Monkey, you are independent. Eating, undressing, using the toilet, walking: you want to do it all by yourself. And we applaud you for it. You even went into a small store to buy a tram ticket while daddy waited at the door.
You talk. Oh boy you talk. Whole sentences, stories, jokes, puns. And you parrot and learn new words every day. Shame is no friend of you. "LOOK MOMMY A LITTLE MAN!" you said loudly when a little old man walked in the tram. We laughed, luckily old man are usually little and a little deaf.
Your passion is everything with wheels , construction, planes and helicopters. And you don't know it yet, as you are asleep, but we're going to visit a construction site later today. I can't wait to see your eyes. The little Einsteins, Handy Manny and The Backyardigans are your heroes.
We play music all the time. Your favorite instruments are the trumpet, drums and cymbals. You make us listen to classical music, band music and basically everything that has those 3 instruments in it. You could dance to The Elephant Mars of Jungle Book the entire day, and by now it's the most played song in our iTunes.
You are sweet, funny, smart, friendly, enthusiastic, talkative, energetic, cute and lovable.
I love you little Monkey,
Mom

I can't believe he's almost three years old. He's such a cutie, and so is his little sister! How time flies, I swear!
