This handsome boy has turned two years old! I realized today that for some reason turning two years old and having been around for two years doesn’t add up in my mind. It seems so crazy that my boy is a big two-year-old; but it seems like so much more than 2 years that he has been my boy. Funny how my brain doesn’t work like that. 🙂
We decided that on your birthday you get whatever you want (within reason, of course). And I feel like the things that Carter wanted today are a good way of explaining him at this stage of his life.
Carter’s favorite article of clothing is his ball pajamas. This boy loves balls! He loves playing with balls, looking at balls, wearing balls, thinking about balls, everything balls! He didn’t want to take off his ball pajamas this morning (just like every morning) and so he wore them all day, and even though they were filthy, he put them right back on after his bath tonight, because it is his birthday and he gets what he wants.
Wearing his ball pajamas, fixing his new ball with his new toy hammer. Tools are another thing Carter loves.
Another of Carter’s favorite things is his “monster coat.” And when we started talking about what kind of cake he might want, he latched onto the idea of “monster cake!” He has been exclaiming “monster cake!” every time somebody mentions his birthday for at least 3 weeks.

Another thing that Carter loves is shoes. (This boy likes the stuff he wears!) He got some new light-up shark sandals today, and wore them all day long, even during his nap.
Carter also has some fun food preferences. He will usually eat most of what we eat. But there are some things that he REALLY loves. Carter loves cereal! He especially loves rice crispies (he calls them “crispies” which comes out sounding something like “Yappies” and is every kind of adorable). He also really likes junk food. Check out his breakfast this morning.
Crispies and Goldfish–On your birthday, you get what you want.
For dinner he wanted meatballs–we added some pasta and fruit in there for good measure–of which he ate all he wanted!
After dinner and monster cake, Carter selected a favorite park to play at. His birthday pretty much sums him up. He loves to play, wear just the right things, and eat just the right things (in just the right quantities)!
We love our boy more every single day, and we are so grateful that he has been ours for two whole years!
I love how happy he looks with his cake! I’m glad that his life is complete with balls and pajamas and going to the park 🙂 He’s so cute!
