Two Years Old!!

Looky looky, guess who's two!

Yep, this guy...

Can't you see how thrilled he was that I was taking his photo at 5:30am?  At that point it was just another Wednesday morning.  Far enough into the week to be exhausted when I flipped on the light.  Maybe my singing didn't help?

PDG had a great day with his buddies at daycare.  Apparently they sang to him a bunch, and Ms S even got him a little gift.  He was certainly wound up when he got home.  By the time we finished all the Face Times and speakerphone conversations he was a tantrum-throwing terrible two for sure.  

We waited until Saturday for the party.  In part because the weather has been Crazy (yes, with a capital C) and also because Mama and Papa H would already be coming to babysit so it made sense.  Rather than a real party though, we went for the low key approach.  We invited over KB and Big and Lil Os and that was it.  Nice and simple.  The G way.

Yeah, this was a mere 36 hours before the snowfall of the last post, and we were happily playing in the backyard and having a picnic.  PDG understands gifts better since Christmas and Lil O happily helped him open the presents.  They are so adorable together!  Stickers, a current favorite, a train set, a Seahawks helmet, a trike, a teeball set and a fire truck are now a part of the endless collection of toys taking over our little house.  Each one made him super excited and confused that there could be anything else.

The boys played while we passed around MDG and soaked in the sun.  Having successfully worn themselves out for naptime, we did cupcakes with a candle and called it a day.  

It's crazy to realize how big this boy is getting.  He has so much to say and so many expressions and his first real friends.  Here's to another adventurous year watching him grow and learn and laugh.
