June 8: Andrew turned 2!!!

I can't believe my baby boy is 2!  He has changed so much over the past two years, but he is still my little baby boy.

Andrew's birthday extravaganza was split up into 3 days.  

June 7th:  

We took Andrew out to Red Brick Pizza for dinner.  We chose that restaurant for two reasons: 

Reason 1--Andrew LOVES pizza.  Reason 2--Each booth has it's own TV and remote and Andrew LOVES remotes.  He had fun eating and playing with all the buttons.

June 8th: 

Andrew spent the day doing all kinds of fun things all while wearing his awesome 2 shirt that I stayed up the night before sponge painting (I need to learn NOT to wait until the night before to do birthday stuff)  We went to the E3 children's museum and Andrew had fun playing with all the kids and the toys.  We came home for lunch and dad was there so Andrew got to enjoy his present: his new red trike!  This new toy will not only but fun, but great therapy for his arms and legs.  He will put his left hand on the handle, but doesn't hold on yet.  I'm thinking of ways to strap that hand on so he won't let go. 

We had back to back house showings that night so we spent some time at the dog park with Rocco and shared a root beer float. Because of the last minute showings I didn't get to make the glorious golf cake I was envisioning.   Instead I slathered on some rainbow chip frosting and plunked down a 2 candle and called it a day.  Andrew didn't seem to mind the lack of decor.  He really enjoyed his cake this year, much more than last year for sure!

June 9th: 

PRESENTS!!! Andrew opened up the rest of his presents the day after his birthday.  He got a bell and horn for his new bike, a Leap Frog light up bongo (super annoying, but we needed something to keep him entertained during his upcoming hospital stay) and a little car.
