My Baby Is Two!

On March 9 my precious boy turned 2. I can hardly believe it has been two years since I first held him. Since the moment he entered this crazy world, he has been a complete joy. It seems impossible that he should be able to run and jump and sing and dance... say "no!", throw temper tantrums and ask the same question 500 times. But as much as I would love to keep him small, I am coming to love all the new things he is doing.

He wraps his arms around my neck and kisses both sides of my cheeks and then plants a big one right on my lips.

When we lay down to take a nap, he kisses my arm as he cuddles up to me. Then he rubs my face so sweetly, just as I do his.

He loves to make me laugh.

When I discipline him, he immediately kisses and hugs me (smart little fellow :)

I love all these sweet things. It makes every tantrum and difficult moment worth it, a thousand times. I wouldn't trade my job for anything in this world! I am so thankful for a husband who works so hard to let me stay home.

The Birthday Cake ( I made this all by myself!)

He loves Cars, so it was a big hit!

 

Such a big hit, that after he took all the cars of the cake, he didn't care to open any other presents! This is me trying to persuade him to open them. He is clearly uninterested.

Finally he opened one,  the matching monkey spoon, fork and plate were a pretty big hit.

I also found this little drum set on clearance at Walmart for a really, really low price. Such fun!!

We had a great time, just the three of us enjoying his birthday. We had 12 inches of snow outside and a very toasty apartment inside (the only reason for my child being in nothing but a diaper and a t-shirt). So we just lounged around, played in the snow and had a happy birthday kinda day.
