Train Party

We gave Eli a train party for his second birthday. Two of his friends (and their moms), two of his cousins, two aunts, two parents, and his grandma were there. It was a good time!

Cake designed by Cesar (he is so creative)
We ate lunch,

danced,

played a train game,

and opened presents.

Eli is Two

Eli's second birthday, 2009

It's fun having a two year old. He is so sweet, funny, smart, nice...and.... demanding, frustrating, and sometimes fussy.

Eli has changed a ton in these two years, and I have too. I've had some very challenging times being a mom, but feel it is all worth it. I love being a mom!

Feet

I've heard many parents talk about how they buy a pair of shoes for their kid and a couple of months later they've grown out of them. Well, that is not the case for Eli...yet. Eli has been wearing the same pair of shoes for an entire year now! His feet just don't seem to grow very quickly.
Also, I have only really cut his toenails once in his two years of life. They don't grow either!
