We are having an easier time coming up with a list of what not to name our baby than actual candidates. Some of them are tempting, but then some of them are just out of our late-night-we-should-just-go-to-bed talks. Here’s a few from the “nah” list:
Anna Lim (pronounced On a Lim)
Harry Lim
Tim, Jim, or Kim Lim
Llewellyn Lim
Luke Lim
Darth Lim
Chewbacca Lim (Chewie Lim sounds great!)
Yoda Lim
Wyatt Lim (sounds to close to how the girls say Violet’s name)
How amazing you are at four years old with all the funny things you say. You’re particularly cute when you crinkle your nose and wrap your arms around my bicep or leg. Your artwork with markers have grown from blobs to blobs with facial features to blobs with appendages too. I’ve enjoyed sharing magnet-doodle artwork with you as you nimble on your dinner. You’re a great helper with Violet’s diapers and cleaning up toys. You play a hilarious game of hide-and-seek. You’re a budding photographer with your camera. The towers you build with blocks climb higher and higher.
Today is not only a celebration of our daughter’s birthday, but it is also a celebration of all the great friends and family who are involved in her life. It was great joining with people to celebrate her third birthday at the Jantzen beach mall carousel then our house for dinner.
Two years, too fast! I often heard from parents that their best advice was to enjoy their children now because they grow up so fast. Jenni also has a saying, “the days go by slow, but the years go by fast.” Here I am looking at my two-year-old daughter and thinking, wow, you did grow up fast!
“We had a wonderful time helping you celebrate. All your friends are invited to future celebrations or good times, maybe when the weather is better during the summer…”
