Birthday boy!

Noah turned 2 yesterday! Though we were all sick AGAIN on his birthday, he still had a lovely day requesting treats and being spoilt on his special day!

To make sure his day was extra special, I made sure that his wish was my command... 

"What's that? 'You want ice-cream and a strawberry milshake with your breakfast? Certainly!" Or  "Yes, you can have a sweet treat (or 3) before lunch!" and  "That's ok that you spilt yoghurt ALL over the tv cabinet and floor. Mummy will clean it all up as you happily go on with your business." 

Not to mention, "Sure, you can spend the day wearing your comfy wiggle's undies, and I'll just clean up what ever mess might come from this."

See what I mean? He had a great day! Here's the proof...

Receiving some pressies in the mail from abuelita and abuelito...

YAY! " Go Diego Go!"

 

Enjoying some undie time. I may or may not use this picture for his 21st!? Payback for all the little messes I had to clean  up.

Placing his candles carefully on his 'Bob the Builder' cake...

El stayed up late the night before to help me ice and decorate the cake. She also helped Joe wrap Noah's presents. She kept saying "this is the best night ever!"

Attempting to blow out the candles.

El of course stepped in and finished the job, just like she did last year. One day Noah,  one day.

Digging Bob into the cake!

Digging his face into the cake!

Opening pressies in a record breaking time! No help needed this year!

Loving his new digger (or what ever that thing is called).

So what's changed since yesterday? Well, apart from no more sweet treats before lunch or spending most of the day in a pair of undies... NOTHING! 

Noah, thanks to your little preview of the 'terrible two's' these past few weeks, we have eased into this transition nicely (eg. that tantrum you pulled out at the shops toady, was no shock). 

Needless to say, I wish you could stay like this forever. It makes me sad that you are growing, but excited to see you turning into a little man each day.You make me so happy! I Love you Buddy. xox
