The Birthday Boy!!

MVP turned two on Saturday. We didn't really plan very much--no birthday party. We just wanted to spend time together. It was a good thing we didn't plan a party because he came down with a cold and wanted to take a nap by about 10:30am. At least we know he's smart and understands that one of the joys of old age is getting to take a nap on your birthday.

I wanted to take some videos of my little man for posterity's sake, so I recorded the following interview with a 2 year old. He is such a silly guy. He's still not interested in talking very much, but he understands quite a bit.

MVP is really into cars right now, so we got him a GeoTrax remote-control Cars set. I'm very pleased that he can maneuver the controls all by himself. Instead of cake, we opted for birthday banana splits. MVP got a kick out of blowing out the candles and of course he loved the ice cream and kept asking for more!

After having a little ice cream, things got crazy and this is what happened...

On Monday, we let the birthday celebration continue and we all went to the NC Aquarium (which is free on Veteran's Day and MLK Jr. Day). We had fun and MVP practically ran from one tank to the next.
