On the day you turned two…

This post was inspired by something my friend Kelly Lutz, a phenomenal professional photographer, did for her daughter’s birthday a week earlier.  You can check out her work at www.photobykelly.com.

On the day you turned two, you woke up at 4:30 a.m. for the second day in a row.  Your mean ol’ mama wouldn’t let you get up until a more reasonable hour so you hung out in bed with her until…

you started the day at 6:30 with some Dada snuggles.  Lucky you!

 First stop for play?  Well the matchboxes, of course!!

Next stop, breakfast but first you checked out your birthday balloons and birthday banner.

 Fresh blueberries with a side of yogurt and raisins – yum!

Now it’s time to gas up the race cars!

No birthday is complete without a little streaking before getting dressed!  That might just be the cutest little belly I’ve ever seen!  (Currently sporting his BumGenius 4.0 diaper.)

Next stop?  Skyping with Grammy and Grampy!  While chatting with them, you got to open the gift that they sent you and that kept you busy for the rest of the call.  It was…

… a fun new train set!!

It’s your birthday so you got to choose our next activity – playdough!  Unfortunately, the fun ended with…

… the I’ve-been-up-since-4:30am-meltdown, seen here in its early stages.  You told Mama to put the red playdough away and then totally melted down when she did.  When she offered to take it back out again, you only got madder and sadder.  Yep, you’re definitely 2!

A quick snack of olives and some pears and off to bed with you, Snuggle bug!

I asked you what you wanted for lunch, you said “pizza,” so, of course, we had to go out!  Besides, I don’t get many lunch dates with either of my favorite guys!

In continuing our theme of “doing stuff you like to do” our next stop was the library, or iberry, as you say it.  They have cars, puzzles, books, dinosaurs, and computers.  What more can a little boy want?  Next stop was not so exciting (farmer’s market) and then it was time to head home for a little TV for you and dinner making for me.

Mmm, a little “Shaun the Sheep” and couch gymnastics while Mama cooks dinner.

Dinner, however, was not exactly a rousing success.  You were more interested in banging the balloons around than eating green beans and sausage.  Yep, you’re totally 2!

 A little silly time with Dada after dinner and it was off for…

… teeth brushing and then bed.

A few books and snuggles before bed.  You want to know how I know you had a good day?  For both nap and bedtime you were asleep within 60 seconds of when I put you down in your bed!  Happy birthday, little dude!
