There have been several events of late that I think are blog worthy, but I haven't found the time to actually sit down and write about them. Hopefully this week I can get all caught up. But first things first: Noah turned two years old today!Our whole day was unbelievably fun. We didn't start out planning to do a million fun things; it just ended up that way. One of the things we did was go sledding - just in time, because by the time we were ready to go back home, a lot of the snow had melted and we were sledding in half grass and half slush. We were all soaked, but it was warm enough that no one was cold. Even Noah managed to get completely drenched, even though Steve wrapped his legs in trash bags and his arms in freezer bags to avoid exactly that.I made Noah a birthday crown, which he loved so much that he wore it all evening, including at dinnertime. I guess next year when we get it out, we'll laugh about the cheese and ketchup that are smeared all over it. He also spent a lot of time messing with the train buttons on it so they are all hanging off precariously now. My plan was that these crowns would last throughout the kids' childhoods, but I'm suspecting Noah's may not make it that long.
We are planning to get him a train table to set up in the basement but we couldn't find a good one today so we just got him a little circle of track and two trains for now, which he absolutely loved. After he opened them, he sat on the floor pushing the train around and around and saying "Choo chooooo!" until it was time to go to bed.
Right now he is sound asleep in bed with Steve, still wearing his crown and clutching his trains in both hands. Happy birthday, my sweet boy.

What a happy and memorable day! It seems like a shame that Noah won't remember it. It's lucky that you are keeping this blog record so he will know what a fun time his family had on his second birthday.

I didn't realize that Noah and my little bean are exactly a year apart! (Though her birthday is today and not yesterday.) What a cutie pie. Sounds like a perfect day!! Happy birthday, Noah!!

Happy late birthday Noah!

That is a cute crown, Sarah! Maybe you can add a piece to it to make it bigger.

What a fun celebration Noah had! Cute image of him sleeping next to Dad, crown still on his head and trains clutched in his hands.
