we just can't believe it

everyone says it. everyone says, robin, this time is going to go by so fast you'd better enjoy it.  and they're right.  we cannot believe that our boy turned 2 almost a month ago!  it makes me happy...it makes me sad.  he's 27 pounds.  i don't think i'll be able to carry him around when he's 3 and i'm going to miss that.  the baby that he was.  but i'm excited for the awesome boy he is and will be.  the one comfort is that i hear so many people say, every stage was my favorite.  it gets harder but better all at the same time.  i don't see how it could be any other way.  yea for us!  and yea for him!

so...ON cashel's birthday he had a party at school. The best part was that all of the kids were super excited about getting to go to a "party" and eat cupcakes, but no one was sure who's birthday it was.  i kept asking cashel, "who's birthday is it?" and he would say, "claire" or "ethan."  anyone of his school friends' names but never his own!

jason was home for dinner that night and we had cashel's favorite - salmon!  afterwards we had his second favorite - cupcake!  

 

the saturday after his birthday we had a playdate with two of his friends from school - brendan and charlie.  before the party nana came over and gave cashel one of his favorite toys - a lego farm - he loves it and plays with it everyday.

and i made a basketball cake!

they all had such a great time.

and...this would be one of our favorite pictures.  it says so much about how happy cashel was to have brendan at his house.

we tried to get a picture with charlie but charlie wasn't up to it.  so a couple of weeks later i snapped this shot at school.

 happy 2nd birthday baby boy!
