My baby turned 2 a couple of weeks ago! It is so hard to believe. It seems like only yesterday we headed to the hospital early one morning to be induced. And now that precious little bundle has turned into an amazing little boy!
The morning of his birthday, he was greeted with Brobee when he came to Mommy and Daddy's room. He was very excited to see him. Then we brought him downstairs where he received his other gifts from us. He was so excited, exclaiming, "My pesants!" He tore right into them!
Then he got to choose what he wanted for breakfast. He proudly proclaimed that he wanted "Kispies" also known as Rice Krispies. He has recently decided that he really likes them.
He even shared some with Slinky Dog, or "Sinky Dog" as he calls him.
We asked him several times before his birthday what he wanted to do on his special day. He got to choose between going to the park, the zoo, or the aquarium. Every time that we asked he responded, "Carium. See shocks and fishies!" So that's what we did. After some time to play with his new toys, we loaded up the car and headed to the aquarium.
He wore a special shirt that Mommy made him specifically for this day. Since he loves seeing the sharks at the aquarium and also enjoys watching Finding Nemo, I wanted to include those elements in his shirt.
Speaking of Finding Nemo, he had a great time watching the fish inside the Finding Nemo inspired tank.
No visit to the aquarium it complete without a visit with the penguins or "pig-ones" as he says. He loved laughing at them as they swam around and played.
After the aquarium, we had lunch at Salsarita's since the birthday boy wanted a quesadilla for lunch. We also made a stop off at Toys R Us where he got a free balloon and birthday crown and was able to spend his $3 gift card that Geoffrey Giraffe had sent him. He used it to buy a Ramone car from the movie Cars. Then we picked up a Hot 'n Ready pizza and came home for a pizza picnic.
After supper, he enjoyed the cupcake with candles that he asked for earlier in the day. He knew that people blow out candles on their birthday, and he talked about it on the way back from the aquarium. We hadn't planned on doing cake and candles that day since his party was the next day, but we couldn't deprive the birthday boy of candles on his birthday. So thanks to the Kroger bakery, we enjoyed watching him as he enjoyed having the birthday song sung to him as he blew out his two candles.
After blowing out the candles, he wasted no time getting into the cupcake. He plunged right in face first and then sat up and declared that he had icing on his nose.
He enjoyed that cupcake for a good 30 minutes. It was so fun to watch. After some outside play, he came back inside to enjoy an ice cream cone. We normally wouldn't have let him have this much sugar in one day, but it was his special day, and the ice cream came as a surprise to all of us! He had shared ice cream cones with mommy and daddy before, but he had never had his own. He enjoyed it so much!
It was the perfect end to a wonderful day. After his ice cream it was time to go to bed. He had a big day ahead of him the next day. But that will have to wait for another post...
