Yesterday we celebrated Ezra's 2nd birthday with Kerri and kids, Kurt and Ashleigh, and Blake (missed Dave). I'm thankful we have family who were able to support Ezra on a busy weeknight. During the party, Ezra was serenaded over the phone by his Nana and Bapa. When they were done singing, Ezra said, "Bye." This little guy can be sooo cute right now, but I have to admit that the way a 2 year old tries to assert their independence is VERY trying sometimes (okay, a lot of the time!).
Even though he can be a stinker, I just love this age. I love:
*how he says, "Morning," each morning when I get him out of bed
*his buckster teeth
*his tight hugs (at knee or around neck)
*how he says, "Sorry," if he's asserted his independence on one of us (like last night when he threw a truck at Will's face)
*how he calls his blanket his "baby"
*how he is learning so much so fast
*his blonde hair and big blue eyes
*how he giggles when he's tickled
*his love of books
*his silly spirit
I've been truly blessed. Now just help me remember this during one of the many assertive episodes!
P. S. THANK YOU to Eric who designed, assembled, and decorated his very cool train cake after a busy day at work.

He's TWO already?! It sounds cliche but it seems like yesterday I held him for the first time at Kerri's house. Wow. What a cutie. Looks just like his older brother.
I'm right there with you on the trying 2 year olds. Ugh! :0) Happy Birthday Ezra! Oh..Eric did a fantabulous job on the train cake!
Wow on that cake!
