Candor goes to Townes

I had an absolutely perfect Mother's Day! I started out the weekend with the most precious Mother's Day Tea at the boys preschool.  All the moms arrived at the school about 10 minutes before the program started.  Once the students started walking in Townes spotted me and ran and jumped in my lap.  He then decided he would forgo the singing and stay with me instead.  I was able to snap the below picture before being spotted.   Candor was super pumped when he saw me as well.  He gave me a huge smile and wave.  Man - those two little dudes melt my heart!    Candor and all his buddies did a great job singing.  Their favorite song, as it is every year, was '5 Little Hotdogs Frying in a Pan'.  It is the cutest song. After the singing we all had cookies and punch and they showered me with gifts and hugs.  Candor made me the below.  I loved it so much I wasn't even offended that he thinks I am...

On Saturday, April 27 we had Townes' 2nd birthday party!   His party was fiesta themed.  We had tacos, chips, salsa, cupcakes and a bouncy house! Townes absolutely loved every second of his party and was SOOO excited when all his friends started showing up.   Townes also really loved when everyone sang him Happy Birthday.  He and Candor then proceeded to down about 5 cupcakes a piece while I wasn't looking! Happy Birthday my sweet boy.  You are the best 2 year old in the world!

Florio came to Townes' birthday party and gave the boys their Christmas album.  Townes was not too thrilled but he will think different once he listens to the album. This year he gave them Glorietta.   Florio is the very best!

Townes had a great 2 year visit with Dr. D.  He weighed in at 31 pounds and is 35.5 inches tall.  Townes and Dr. D. got along quite well even though the entire appointment Townes kept telling him he was ready to go home.  Dr. D. said, "I understand buddy, I want to go home too!". Dr. D. made a lasting impression on Townes, however, because when we got home the rest of the afternoon he pretended like he was a doctor! We will see you again when Townes is 3 Dr. D.!

My littlest best friend is now 24 months old.  2 years old!?!  How is that even possible. He is the happiest boy, his vocabulary is out of this world, he blows kisses to everyone and is pretty much just a dream. This month we started teaching him how to ride the Strider bike. He got to go to the Indy Car races and spend the day with Uncle Travis. He and Candor have wrestled like no other.  They are the very definition of boys. I have given him lots of horse rides. We have also played merMOM and merSONS. The night before his actual birthday we laid out his presents and balloons.  Ignore the fact that I only had newspaper to wrap his present!  Ha! We walked into his room singing Happy Birthday to wake him up.  This kid LOVED being the center of attention.  All day he kept saying, 'It's My Birthday!!'.  He also wanted us to sing Happy Birthday to him at least 100 times.   ...

My little love bug is now 57 months old! It has been another super busy month for my little guy.  These past few weeks have been tough on this poor momma because I feel as though he is growing up just a bit too fast for my liking. We took off his training wheels on his big boy bike!  He still has some work to do but he is getting there.  I cannot believe it. Travis came into town and we went with him to the Indy Car races.  It was so fun hanging out with him for the day. They have a kid's workshop at Home Depot the first Saturday of every month.  Todd took him this month and they had an absolute blast making this adorable little bird house. He has been interested in playing a few board games  So far we have played Trouble and Chutes and Ladders.  It is so fun playing these games that I use to play when I was little.   Arby came to see him not once.... but twice!  I'm not sure how we g...
