Beckett's Birthday

I can't believe I have a two-year-old already! If you ask Beckett how old he is he says "I be two." He gets very, very excited about birthday cake but as it turns out he really only cares about the frosting.

We celebrated Beckett's birthday on the day by sending his train cupcakes to daycare, and then a birthday meal of noodles, bread, and fruit (all of his favorites). His official party was the Saturday after at the Kleinhans residence. What was originally planned to be a pool party was cancelled because I refuse to pay a ridiculous amount of money for something Beckett may or may not remember!

A good birthday week was had by all.

Beckett can't wait to dig in to the frosting!

Chad and I got him a train table and I am shocked at the amount of time he has already played with it. We've already gotten our money's worth!

Obviously I will feed my son's train obsession as needed. His train table provided great accessories for the birthday party cake!

The birthday boy lounging and feasting on all of his favorite snacks. I'm not sure the adults were thrilled with Spiderman snacks, teddy grahams, fruity marshmallows and cheese but the kids thought it was a hit!

Beckett is really good about giving hugs. Here's one for Great Grandma Marilyn.

And one for Great Grandma Ardis too. He hugged everyone to say thank you for his presents.

Blowing out his two candles!

All the pictures of the kids on the top bunk are blurry - my camera is not fast enough for excited kids!

The night ended with a dance party in the basement. If you know the Kleinhans you know this is a regular occurrence in their house.

I had intentions of recapping all the milestones Beckett has had in his second year of life... and maybe I will still do that as his last blog entry... someday. But if you've been following you know that he's a bright, healthy little boy with a strong personality and lots of people who love him very much.

Happy 2nd Birthday Beckett Russell Paulson!
