Happy 2nd birthday to you my sweet, sweet baby Banks. It’s the greatest privilege of my life to be your dad and I’m endlessly proud / in awe of the little human you are, and the big human you’re becoming. There truly are no words, pep talks, dad blogs, or what-to-expect podcasts that could’ve prepared me for the amount of joy, fullness & meaning you give me on an hourly basis. I’m learning on the job every day and I’m sorry I don’t always do your hair right, make mac & cheese as good as you deserve, and subject you to car soundtracks way more appropriate for your 20’s than your two’s...but thankfully you have a superhero of a mother who DOES nail the mac & cheese, rages the Trolls soundtrack with you, and dresses you A++...All while being the glue that keeps our family whole. Between us, your big bro who smothers you with more love and cute aggression than I ever thought possible, and your future sibling who you’ll guide through “how to get Sprinkles for breakfast”, we’ll never let you down Banksy boo. Sorry you can’t read this yet. One day you will...and you’ll either cry out of happiness or because this picture of you on a toilet exists forever. Happy birthday bair bair.
