Last week was Odin's second birthday. Seriously, where does the time go? The night before, I blew up as many balloons that I could and left them all throughout his room. When he woke up he was pretty excited to see them. Once out of his crib, he went to work at popping them. He loves to pop balloons!
We had planned on going to the zoo, but a spring snow storm was coming through and we decided that we didn't want to drive through snow and traffic. We went to the Maple Grove Maze instead. The kids had a lot of fun. Adelyn was pretty brave and went down the slide all by herself (Karin - remember when she got stuck and Julian had to rescue her?).
In the evening, the grandparents and Uncle Jake and Katie were over for the party. I had asked Odin what he wanted. The only thing he said was blueberries. In fact, that was his answer for any birthday question (what kind of cake? what presents?). Silly boy. We had planned on burgers, but again, the snow messed with our plans. So we made sloppy joe's instead. We had blueberry lemon cupcakes that I had decorated to look like frogs. Odin thought that was pretty cool.
He got some nice presents from everyone. He needed clothes, so that was the primary gift. Can't wait for shorts weather! He also got some toys. And blueberries and a train track from us.
I think the highlights for him was popping balloons and having blueberries.
So, happy birthday little buddy! I'm glad that we had a fun family day together. You are growing into such a big boy. It is an honor to be your mom. I love how you love to snuggle when you are just waking up. You are starting to talk so much. You try and repeat everything. And you are starting to make your own sentences. You like to jump. You try and do everything your big sister does. When we ask your name, you reply, "Adelyn Elise Roy" and then laugh. You have a sweet and sensitive spirit. You eat just about anything in front of you, but your favorites are berries, avocado and beans. You bring so much joy into our lives. We love you, birthday boy!
