The Perfect Choice for Celebrating

By Courtney 11 Comments

We had a great second birthday over here yesterday! And just like last year, I made sure to take one last picture of him last night before he officially became a two year old.

Jay was all concerned about me waking him up and I said, hey…pictures are a priority.

Right? Winking smile

As for the day, it was great. Even if we were running about 10 minutes late leaving the house for work/daycare…and even if I realized shortly before heading out the door that I dressed him in a stained shirt…and yes, even if I totally forgot to make any sort of treats to send with him to daycare and we wound up stopping at Dunkin Donuts for blueberry munchkins.

Hey, umm, I’m not complaining about an excuse to go get blueberry munchkins.

Despite the few bumps in our morning, it was perfect. And he even had a little party at daycare, too!

I picked him up as quickly as I could after work, and we came home and played cars for hours. Literally…the child LOVES cars, trucks, buses, you name it. He wound up getting some new Hot Wheels cars from his Uncle D (“Doo Dee” – I can’t even) and Carissa, and another from his papa, too.

Once daddy got home, we had a quick dinner of leftovers (BBQ Chicken sandwiches, mac salad, and side salads), and then we were off to the playground!

We wanted to have a special “just the three of us” outing for his birthday, and since we got a little bit of a late start, we decided to just hit up one of the local playgrounds. He absolutely LOVES the playground, and it turned out to be the perfect choice.

This kid was in. his. glory.

If we went down the slides once, we went down a hundred times!

It was easily the best hour of my day and, not to mention, it did a fabulous job of pooping him right out for bed.

And now that I did some running around myself this evening, I think I’ve worked up a bit of an appetite for some leftover birthday cake while indulging in the last episode of The Bachelorette. Oh yes, I think that sounds fabulous.

Spoiler – I already knew the ending, but I loved hearing my parents and Jay try to guess! Winking smile

Alright you guys, I’m cutting things short for today, but I’ll catch ya tomorrow!!

    Blueberry munchkins are a win in my book! I love a good birthday party, but having some time with the three of us is my favorite. I love making memories together and soaking up my sweet boy.

    Honestly, if anyone can make it out the door on Monday morning without any hiccups...I need their secrets. Yesterday, I couldn't find my phone for a good 10 minutes (turned up in my closet), my wallet was in my husband's car (?), and when we finally made our way out to the car after what felt like an eternity, my little one only had one shoe on!! I was ready for bed before I got to work :) Happy birthday to Lucas!

    Happy Birthday, Lucas! I remember when each of my kids turned 2...and they are currently 6 and 8! My 6 year old could still spend hours on a playground, especially the slides! His big thing now is climbing, so he loves to climb those parts of the playground usually designed for the bigger kids. Practically gives me a heart attack (my 8 year old broke her arm falling from the playground when she was in kindergarten), but he loves it and is so good at it!
