Ryder’s 2nd Birthday invitations arrived today. Yeah, you heard me. 2nd. Birthday. How did this happen? Where did this crazy, energetic, sassy little boy come from? He used to sleep in my left arm and now I can barely get him to sit on my lap for more than 2 minutes!
I am loving the person he is becoming, though. He rocks. He sings and dances all day long. He climbs everything. Everything. He describes everything that he sees. He makes me sing Frosty and Rudolph to him ALL day long. He says “Goodbye, Friend” when leaving the park. What a funny guy.
This year’s birthday was an easy theme to settle on: trains. Ryder loves nothing more than a good train ride (preferably with his Papa and Nan, but Mommy will do). So in addition to the day-to-day housework and my new job (more on that later), I’ve been busy planning a train party! I hope all my baby boy’s train-filled dreams come true that day!
