Happy 2nd Birthday Dylan

Today was Dylan's 2nd birthday. At 2 years old we are so proud of him and of course think we have one of the cutest smartest two year olds ever. Dylan can now count to 15 (I think) in English and 10 in Spanish, he speaks in some complete sentences and is full of energy and curiosity. He loves to watch Dora, color, play trains and kick ball. He enjoys going to school, swim lessons, Tyler's house and the park. He is still not a big eater or sleeper but loves junk food and milk. He is still a momma's boy, an arm rubber and is not too ready to grow up because he still asks and gets him pacifier a lot. He has made a lot of potty training progress and mostly poops on the potty although sometimes does not make it in time. Dylan is not too sure about being a big brother or sharing all the attention yet but does enjoy having Levi sit by him in the car. I am sure I am forgetting many of his accomplishments this year but wanted to be able to remember him at this fun age. I am combining his and Levi's doctor appointments so we do not go to his two year check-up until November 18th.

This morning we gave him a tricycle and he wore a birthday boy shirt to school. He was very excited that it was his birthday and was singing happy birthday before school. I sent cupcakes with him so his class could celebrate with him at snack time. Nana picked him up at school (she is his preferred ride home) and she gave him his present when they got home. She gave him a basketball hoop. It was tough but with a little assistance from me she got it put together and they played hoops outside. His sweet cousins Layla and River also called and wished him a happy birthday - mainly Layla but River was trying.

For dinner we took Dylan to the Aquarium downtown for dinner. Steven's dad and Stephanie met us there. Dylan was excited as soon as we drove up and he saw the waterfall and dolphin fountains. His excitement continued throughout dinner as we were sitting very close to the large aquarium which has tons of fish, shark, turtles and sting rays in it. Every time the shark would swim by he would scream "there it is!" It was a very fun birthday dinner and I think Dylan had a very happy 2nd birthday and we have not even had his party yet.
