Michael's Birthday
May 05 2009 09:51 PM
I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about this one yet. INSANE how quickly time really does go by. Mikey turned 2 on April 1! We had a little dinner for him at home, and then in the evening my parents came over for a little party. I made little cupcakes with oreo dirt and gummy worms. It was the only thing I could think of that would be even closely related to an April Fool’s motive. We’ll have more fun with that one when he is older. 
Matt brought home a big bouquet of balloons for the birthday boy, because balloons are one of Mikey’s favorite things! He would not let go of those all night. It’s a bit difficult to open presents when one hand has a tight hold on 24 balloons.
The next day, I tried to take some pics of him, and he wasn’t too thrilled. He really looks like he is doing me a favor by holding his balloons.
A few days later, I was able to get some pretty cute shots of him riding around on his trike. He just a joy to have in our family.
****BINKY UPDATE
So it turns out that taking away the binky was more difficult then even I imagined it to be. After not having it for two weeks, Mikey was getting mean and cranky! He’d scream and scream at nap and bedtimes. He was meaner to Annie and Collin. It was awful. I just couldn’t take anymore, so, I caved. Call me what you will, but at least I am still sane.
