What can it be?!

Happy 2nd Birthday to James! He continues to amaze and surprise us. I suggested sitting down to watch a video and eat an orange the other day and he said, "perfect!"

Really?

Anyway - on to the festivities!

We had a great little homespun birthday party in our backyard complete with James' special guest - Uncle Kevin. Pizza, presents, a train cake.... perfect!

Thanks to all of you who remembered James on his special day. The gifts were all so great and generous. Every time we gave him a new one, he started ripping the paper and saying, "what can it be?!"

New play table from mom & dad....

Remote control tractor from the Bruces...

drum from Uncle Kevin....

These little trucks from Aunt Cathy are an absolute favorite. He "needed" them at all times - even when he was eating his pizza.

New puzzles from Nanet...

Almost every morning, Monday through Friday, James and I have this conversation...

James: where's daddy?

Me: at work

James: No, I want to go to work!

Me: Where do you work?

James: At the job site? (This, he always answers as a question)

Now, thanks to Oma & Opa (Brian's parents), he can! Here's his new Eddie & the Boulder Worksite...

The train cake and James' ridiculous parents...

The inhaling of the train cake...

happy birthday big guy.
