Two's Not Terrible

Thatcher turned the big two on Saturday. As luck would have it we had cousins passing through for the weekend and with the additional family singing in celebration of him his excitement doubled in size. He loved his cake and was daring enough to begin taste testing it the moment it was set before him. We began singing Happy Birthday and realized we hadn't explained to him the traditions of blowing out the candles at the end of the song. Needless to say he didn't need any instructions. We got as far as "Happy Birthday to you..." and with a giant two year old blow he had extinguished the candles all by himself. He enjoyed opening presents and asked his sisters for assistance in unwrapping, which in turn made their excitement double in size as well. It was a great weekend to spend time with family and celebrate the birth of our little Thatch!



This is the position you can find Thatcher in ever since he received this train set for his birthday. We love that he loves it. Happy Birthday Thatch.
