Dear Olive,
Two years ago today, at just before ten o'clock in the morning, you came into my and Shane's arms and we were forever changed. You made us parents for the first time*, and showed us the incredible possibility of endless love. I’ve told you the story of your birth many times. How you were born, how incredibly amazing you were, how we could not believe it when we woke up the day after to find you asleep in the bed between us. We kept saying Can you believe it. Can you believe it. Over and over. And look at you now, two years on. A running, jumping, talking, screaming, bright, bossy, sensitive, demanding, hilarious, happy two year old. Who loves blueberries, books, swings, sultanas, Hey Jude, and tickles on the bed with Dad**. I’m still working you out I think, your real personality. Or maybe it'll turn out that you're just too close for me to really see you for who you are. Perhaps you'll always just be my divine, darling baby. Big happy happy birthday to you!

* making us parents for the first time that we know of Shane pointed out. I'm quite certain (in fact, I'd say 100%) that I don't have any, but I'm sure interested to meet any love children of your Dads.
** As soon as Shane gets home from you scream (you're really REALLY loud) and tear off yelling tickle on bed Daddy, tickle me on bed Dad.
