Owen's 2nd Birthday!

Owen had a wonderful birthday. He was so excited about his cake all day that when you would ask him how old he was, he would say "Choo, choo train cake." By the end of the day, he would answer with the correct answer of 2. They sang to him in nursery, and I happen to be in the hall, and I could hear him singing just as loud as everyone else, then he yelled "thank you." I'm so glad that I raised a polite kid.

We had a few of our friends and family over last night for cake and ice cream. He was so happy to blow out the candles and had plenty of help from his cousins who are very close in age - they don't understand at two. Then he opened his presents and didn't really want to go on to another present until we got the thing he just opened out of the box. We finally got him to move on. After each gift, we would tell him who it was from, but he would just wave and say thank you to everyone. After cake and ice cream all the kids went outside to play, so the adults had a few minutes to bask in the heat that is my house (I need an air conditioner!!!!). Then he came in and played with his new choo choo train. He is very good at making the noises, and doesn't want to share Thomas with anyone. I hope he gets over that! He had a great day! Thanks to everyone who came and made Owen's day a special one!

I love the cake!!! Did you make that? I also can't believe that Owen is 2. The last time I saw you he was a newborn. Crazy!

Yeah, I made the cake. I got the idea from Family Fun, and it was very easy. It only took me about an hour to frost the whole thing. I can hardly believe that he is two too! They grow up way to fast.
