Happy 2nd Birthday, Lex!














Today Lex turned two. He had a few tantrums today, but overall the terrible twos haven't arrived yet! We took it easy today. He woke up and Jer got up with him, letting me sleep in (my favorite part of Saturday)! Lex opened up a gift in the morning (Luigi and Guido cars), and happily played with toys. Then Lex took a nap until we had to leave for Costco to pick up his cake.

Our initial post-Costco plan was to go to the beach and let Lex play in the sand, but on the way, we happened to see there was a medieval fair (or faire, if you will) going on at one of our favorite parks. We opted to walk around there instead. I think Lex enjoyed seeing the people. He basically ignored the people on stilts, but was fascinated by a man with a feather in his hat. Go figure.

Anyway, we came back for cake and presents (for the second year in a row, Lex cried as we sang "Happy Birthday" to him -- I didn't realize my singing was THAT bad). We had a few friends join us for that. We'll have a birthday dinner for him tomorrow with a few more gifts since we learned at Christmas that too many gifts at one time are a bit overwhelming for Lex!
