My Baby is TWO

Last weekend we celebrated Kai's 2nd Birthday with a bunch of his little playmates and their families.

It was of course a Thomas the Train theme. We had Thomas the Train ring toppers on the cupcakes and a cake (which was not my best work) that had tracks all around it and a plastic train placed on top. But if there was frosting, heck they didn't care! You should have seen these 2 yr. olds scarf-down these cupcakes and sneak another without their parents knowing! So funny! I have video proof!

The main attraction was Ponderosa's enormous inflatible SLIDE. I think some of the parents had just as much fun as the kids!

Here's a few shots of Kai checkin' out the slide with mom and dad. Because Derrick helped move the slide inside and get it cleaned up after the summer camp season, Kai was introduced to it several days before his party! He loved it and seemed fearless, but he got hurt the day before his party and acted pretty hesitant the whole 1st half of the party. He wasn't willing to slide alone.

Here's a cute little video of Derrick, Kai and his buddy, Zane. Zane seemed to be having a killer time (check out his dance moves). At this point we were trying to warm Kai up to the slide again so he'd go down with Daddy.

Altogether a fun party! We're so blessed to utilize the camp resources here at Ponderosa (hence the slide). Thanks Ponderosa!

Still hard to believe our baby is TWO already. Seems like only a few months ago we were commuting to the hospital to make his morning feedings in the NICU. Birthdays really make me reflect on that time in our lives. So thankful for a healthy toddler! We'll see if this next year can really be labeled "the terrible two's"..........
