Another post from the husband
Ryan Alexander you are only 18 months old. I am much older than
you. I don’t want you to grow up. I tried to make a deal with your brother
about not growing up. He seemed to agree but then went right ahead and sprouted
into a threenager in the blink of an eye. I guess the lesson is you can’t trust
a baby to stick to his word?
You have taught me quite a lot in your short
life. You taught me how to grow an even bigger heart, to let in even more love.
You have taught me how to laugh even harder at the silliest of things. Or maybe
the Dad jokes and renditions of “Chim, chimeny, chim, chimeny, chim, chim, cheroo”
are actually that hilarious? If they are courtesy laughs, then my son, I see a
bright future for you in Hollywood.
But I think the biggest thing you have taught
me is how to be utterly fearless, and ambitious to the max. You will try to
descend the steepest of stairs, or ascend the highest of couches and you will
fall but you get up and try again. You want to walk without help, you don’t
need a hand, you know we will catch you if necessary…Fear has no hold on you,
just the limits of your 18month old body and some silly physics…If you keep
living like that the world will be your oyster, and your parents will probably
have ulcers watching you live life to the max. To Ryan my fearless boy.
Godspeed.
