ALEX is TWO!!!

Its funny, as a parent for the first time, to the first child....you do everything and record everything and anything....the second child you try to do the same for the first child...and you kinda succeed...by the THIRD child...well, its all out the window....when they ate this or did that, sometimes the notes on these things get lost. I know...this is ME! I have a record book for all three kids....Josh has the most written in it, I know it all. With Katie, I know most, some I guessed at trying to remember certain things and with Alex...well.....I hope he doesnt hate me when he grows up....its hard to recall certain things, it was roughly this and that,  when he did that or this! It can all be a blur.....

This past Remembrance Day was Alex's SECOND BIRTHDAY!! And we did very little except sing the Birthday Song and gave him his FAVOURITE FOODS. Kraft Dinner and Chocolate Pudding....he probably just thought he was lucky that day!! We did buy him a present, a Minnie and Mickey Mouse...he LOVES them!! Its then I realized, after asking the other kids, if they remember anything when they turned two. They both said NO! SO its all for us, the parents and grandparents....the parties, the food, the decorations. And then during the party, the kids get too tired and start to fuss and whine...they want out. So thats why this year, we just laid low....and did his favourite, simple meals. And I am sure that Alex wondered what was wrong with us when we sang and clapped HAPPY BIRTHDAY to him and cheered!! He just sat there looking at us...wondering what were we all about......



Birthday boy and PUDDING!!!

 I know for sure, next year will be different, especially since Alex's memory will be getting better....but for now its over and he is OFFICIALLY TWO...bring on the TERRIBLE TWO's...I'm ready!!
