Happy 2nd Birthday Lucas!

Happy 2nd Birthday Lucas!
October 8

Lucas is 2 years old!!!  It was kind of nice not to have Lucas's party on his birthday.  It made for a less crazy, busy day.  We did the normal Wednesday stuff, like playing at Owen's so I could work in the girls' classrooms.  Playing with his best buddy was a good way to start the day!  He also got to wake up to decorations and his new Strider bike from Grandma Karen.  He wasn't so sure about riding it, but he knew he liked fixing it!  He got his tools out periodically throughout the day to do some bike fixing!  He told anyone who came in, "bike, bike." 

That night we had dinner and then sung happy birthday to him.  He got to open his presents and have peaches and cream for dessert.  It was weird not to be able to have a cake for his birthday because of his allergies, but he didn't seem to mind.  He loved the peaches and whip cream. He very much enjoyed present opening, and blowing out his candles too.  I sung happy birthday to him all day long.  At first he kind of looked at me like I was crazy, but by halfway through the day he was saying "more, more" and doing the sign language for more so that I would sing again!

 Matisyn surprised Lucas when he woke up with a decorated chair and his cereal and milk ready.    He quickly pulled apart his chair, but I'm sure he appreciated the gesture.  That girl loves her baby brother!

 The Thomas the Train balloons were his favorite part of the decorations.

 This baby boy is 2!

 Trying out his new bike!

 "Fixing" his new bike!

He loved his train books and his fire engine set, but couldn't wait to open up his moving dinosaur set!  He tried using his play tools and his play kitchen knife to open them by himself!

 Each of his faces was so cute, I just kept snapping pictures!  He was so precious trying to blow out his candles!

Happy Birthday little buddy!  We love you!
