Guess what Friday was?! Nathan's 2ND Birthday!!!
 |
| The fun banner I made for his big day.. :) |
 |
Nathan walking down the stairs checking out all the streamers and balloons in the living room..
"BALLOONS!?!? Orange balloon?! Red balloon?! Green balloon!!!" |
 |
| "How old are you Nathan?" "I'm TWO!" |
 |
| At Nathan's birthday party at the park-- once he finally woke up (by finally, I mean, "half an hour after his party started," and by "woke up," I mean, "got woken up by his Mom." ) |
 |
| All the kiddos decorating their cupcakes-- |
 |
| Nathan had a special little kid cake that we decorated together... (and all the kids wanted it.. EXCEPT NATHAN) |
 |
| He just wanted to decorate a cupcake like everyone else. |
 |
| Later that night we had cake and ice cream with the family... |
 |
| This is Nathan conducting his birthday choir. Every time we lit the candles he'd start conducting and start everyone off by singing, "Haaaaappppyyyyy....." |
 |
| And of course-- the moment he'd been practicing for... for like, oh, weeks. He was a total pro. |
 |
| Ecuadorian tradition is to bite into your birthday cake once they're done singing and you're done wishing... {except generally this is the point where someone secretly comes behind you and pushes your face into the cake... Maybe next year, Nathan.} |
 |
| But we did have fun playing with the whipped cream icing on the cake! |
 |
| Lots of fun... |
 |
| And Daddy got to play, too! |
I can't believe he's already two years old! One thing that I love about motherhood is that every month I'm like, "
You know, Nathan was cool last month, but this month is the BEST EVER!" And then the next month I say the exact same thing again. Month after month he just keeps getting better and better-- I don't know if all kids are this fun, but I sure like Nathan. He's such a great kid and I'm so lucky to be his mom!
