Last weekend, out little guy turned 2 years old! We threw him a big party with a pinata (that he didn't care for so much), a tractor cake (thanks to grandma Fawcett) and lots of family to join him. We went to my Gaga and Papa's for dinner and celebrated with all the family and cousins and the kids had a blast. The week before, we spent prepping for the party and the boys and I did some paper mache to create a fun pinata for them to destroy at the party. All the kids seemed to enjoy it but Simon wanted to just watch and observe. We are really finding that he doesn't like to be the center of attention too much and this might have been a bit much for him. The kids were just about able to break it open but Thomas took it and dumped all the goodies out. Then we opened presents and had dinner and cake. The kids played in the jumpoline for a while (a large inflatable trampoline) and Simon absolutely loves it. He loves balls and the combinations of balls and the jumpoline are his favorite things to do. Overall, I think the party was a hit. Simon is definitely 2 as this week has been a bit of a challenging one. He is really exercising his will and beginning to really voice his opinion. We are working on doing this in a respectful and appropriate way. He is so different than Ethan and it truly is fun to get to know each them better and watch their growing personalities blossom. We're excited to meet baby #3. The boys have been talking to him and Ethan is always telling Simon that he needs to be careful not to be too rough with the baby. This is good advice, especially for Simon.
