Nick Is Turning Two
It is hard for this momma's heart of mine to believe that Nick is turning two. I can still remember so clearly the days surrounding his birth. Perhaps that is because so much was going on at that time; Nick being in Alaska, living at Mom and Dad's, getting ready to leave my home and family for Alaska.
I loved this cake! It turned out so cute. I couldn't keep my fingers off the bottom edge of the frosting on the way home. It smelled so good. We put the boys down for a nap after lunch so that I could wrap presents and get ready for our "party" but the boys woke up before I was completely ready. Nick (the little one) had the hardest time waiting. Once he saw that cake he was all over it. I had to keep him on Daddy's lap so that his fingers wouldn't make a mess of it before I got the pictures taken.
Nick did the shopping for Bug's birthday while we were at church and then we picked up the cake and wrapping paper on the way home. You would think that one roll of wrapping paper would be enough for a few gifts...but, no. There was one eight inch square piece of paper left to try to wrap the largest gift! So I just left it unwrapped. But when I put the tiny square of paper up against the big box, it reminded me of how I feel "wrapped" in a bath towel! (Okay, maybe not that bad, but the feeling was there.)
Bug was not sure about the candles. I think he just wanted to dig his hands in the cake. I remember when Joey turned two, he surprised everybody with blowing out his own candles (as most kids don't do that until they are a little older), but I had been practising with Joey for a week before his party; lighting a candle and letting him blow it out. I never practiced with Nick, and he did not want to blow out his candles. So Joey blew them out the first time, but when that upset Nick, we re lit them to give him another try. He still didn't blow them out, so Mommy and Daddy took care of them.
He has always been such an enthusiastic eater!
Joey was being a goof for the camera....as usual. When I first turned the camera toward him, Joey decided to give a concentrated frown as he grabbed another bite. So when I asked him to smile instead.....this is the result. What a silly boy. Can't imagine where he gets it!
