Yesterday was Bladen’s 2nd birthday and he had a great day! He started the celebrations on Friday at his daycare party. I took in frosted cookies for the kids and they made him his Birthday Boy hat. Yesterday he slept in and then we let him open all his presents from us and our families. He is quite the spoiled kid! Our house is so little and we wanted to have a party for him this year, so we reserved the basement of Monical’s Pizza and invited 14 of his friends! I was so worried about having the party at a restaurant with a bunch of 2 year olds because I knew they would want to run around and be wild, but I was so relieved when we got there and realized it would only be us and another party downstairs. The kids couldn’t wait to get their hats and cupcakes - they barely ate any of their dinner. And just before we all left, Bladen was being his usual entertaining self by spinning in circles until he got so dizzy and was crashing into everything to make the girls laugh! He had a good day and I’m so sad to see him grow up!
