Big Boy Birthday

Look who turned two!

We did a joint celebration Friday with Donovan, who turned two on the 16th, and his mama, whose birthday is the 18th. 

Donovan got the better deal on presents 

but isn’t that always the case with two-year-olds?

He loves his small (compared to this) ride-on John Deere tractor 

so you can imagine his joy when he saw this gift from his mom and dad. 

It took him awhile to figure out the foot pedal

and the steering but by the end of the day he was a pro. 

 Not sure he’s licensed for passengers yet . . . 
Our gift was also a hit 

although Donovan was super annoyed 

he couldn’t open the box and play with Lightning McQueen NOW.

But all is well now that dad has the bed together.

It’ll be interesting to see if he stays in it tonight, being used to a crib, or if he’ll use his new freedom to go exploring. Happy birthday, big boy!

P.S. today we weighed Donovan and Jaclyn, who will be 4 in June, and . . . they are both 30 pounds! With her added height, Jac feels light and tiny, while Donovan is compact and heavy, just like his dad was at the same age.
