Elliot Turns Two!

I love my children's birthdays---proof that I've kept the little guys alive and well for another year! We celebrated Elliot's birthday one day early this year--with a couple of friends and a Thomas The Train cake. Elliot is a wild man at home and more than a little naughty but a soooo shy when we're out, so I thought that I low-key party would be perfect for him-and it was. Elliot LOVED his Thomas cake, and I LOVED watching him love his Thomas cake.

I could gush about my little boyfriend forever. He's rough and wild right now but still a mama's boy--which is just fine with me. He LOVES trains and trucks and playing rough, but he's sweeter than sweet---bringing Laney her favorite stuffed animals when she's upset and giving me the best hugs when I'm down.

He says, 'Mama 'nuggle me' (snuggle me) and makes me the happiest mommy on the world. He calls trains--'chugga chugga toot toots'---and what's sweeter than that?! He has the sweetest little face and the most beautiful green eyes, and I love that he's 100% boy--definitely introducing me to the whole 'boy world'. I'm fairly sure that no girl will ever be worthy of his attention (just kidding---kind of).

I LOVE this little boy--love being his mommy and love watching him grow. Happy Birthday Elliot!
