Wow!  2 Years Old!  Our baby boy is 2 years old today!  It's gone by so fast and I can honestly say that we have the sweetest, most wonderful 2 year old I know.  He's such a happy boy, and sweet, and smart, and energetic, and I could go on all day long.  And I really can't call him a baby any more either.  He's a little boy... a little person.

We had his birthday party yesterday at the house and had so much fun.  We were lucky and got perfect outdoor weather, allowing all the kids to run and play in the backyard.  The new tetherball we put up was a hit, as was the swing.  A lot of the kids had fun just running laps around our little backyard storage shed (commonly referred to as the bunker).  Kids are so easily amused.  And let me tell you what else... my boy has game!  He gave a big hug and kiss (on the lips) to his future girlfriend T.  He then proceeded to steal the truck and leave her crying as he drove away.  He knew what he was doing; find what he wants, distract the ladies with some sugar, make his getaway.  It was the cutest, funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

The only thing that worries me is how E wanted to blow out his candles.  When his cake came out and everyone sang him "Happy Birthday", he applauded the wonderful singing, he asked the crowd for more, and then he thought it would be better to put out the fire with his hands instead of by blowing them out.  Although I'm impressed that not even fire can scare him (he is completely fearless), I'd prefer if he just put out candles the conventional way.  We will work on that one for next year.

Happy Birthday to Our Super Wonderful Son!  We love you!!!!!
