First things first, my little boy turned 2 last week! The last 2 years have literally flown by and I am having a hard time keeping up with how fast he is growing and developing into such a sweet, loving, compassionate little man.
I had planned on updating the blog on his actual birthday but my laptop/memory card/usb drive were not getting along, so here we are almost a week later. Oh well, better late than never! We started off the day with a trip to our local Waffle House – Colin has a slight obsession with waffles and would eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I let him. Last night I actually did let him have a waffle for dinner, but that story is for another day.
After our waffle breakfast we headed into Houston to the Children’s Museum. Colin had only been there once before and he was still drinking from a bottle and not yet mobile so we thought we’d give it another try and he LOVED it! I think we could have stayed all day long and he would have been happy, but we had other things to get to on our itinerary for the day.
After the museum we headed home for lunch and nap time – one thing about us is that we don’t mess with nap time at our house, at least we try not to. My sweet, loving little man can easily morph into a grumpy, tantrum throwing spit-fire without a nap (and if I am being honest, lately he does this even with a nap!).
After an abbreviated nap we took him to the movie theatre! Luke was really excited to take him to his first movie, and lucky for us we were the only ones in the entire theatre. I guess that is what happens when you go see Tangled at 3pm on a Wednesday at the end of January – it was so nice! He got his very own junk tray with popcorn, fruit snacks, and fruit punch. To be honest he was so engrossed in the movie he barely even touched any of his ‘junk tray’ until the end of the movie. He did great and clapped after the female character (can’t remember her name) would sing – so cute!
After the move it was straight to Chuck-E-Cheese for pizza and games. We took Colin to Chuck-E-Cheese for his birthday last year and he loved it but we hadn’t been back – it’s the kind of place that is really only tolerable once or twice a year. Again, we had a fantastic time and Colin was so excited to play all of the different games and he begged us to ride Barney over and over and over. At the end of the night he picked out his prizes and was so happy with his little treats.
Finally, we went home and sang Happy Birthday over a brownie, then it was time for bath time and bed. Luke and I went to bed shortly after Colin that night too – we were all worn out from our fun-filled day celebrating my most favorite little boy.
Like I have said before, I don’t think you can adequately describe the love a momma (or daddy) has for their child – at least I don’t know how. All I know is this little boy fills our lives with so much love and happiness (and sometimes craziness) that I don’t know what my world would be like without him.
