Happy Birthday Eoin!  You are two today.  We are amazed every day by you.  Watching all the things you can do and listening to all the things you are saying makes our hearts swell.

Today we spent the day spending time with you.  You got up nice and early to celebrate.  We made Mickey Mouse pancakes together; you helped measure and whisk the dry ingredients.  You drag your stool around the kitchen to wherever you want to help out. You opened your puzzles from Auntie Nellie, Sid and Matt and put them in your new rack.  You pointed out the O and the F to mama and told me all the farm animal sounds said "horse" and "oink," new words!  Then we went outside so you could see your new Strider bike.  You shouted "bike....geen" (green).  You knew exactly what to do, you threw your leg over to straddle the bike then started walking with it.  You were a little shocked when the bike tipped and then you recovered.  After that you wanted Dadda to stay close. You helped Dadda wash the car and we got ready to meet Grandma at Sara's for lunch.  On our way down, you fell asleep so, Grandma held you while we ate.  Then you ate a whole hotdog and finished off Mama's orange/vanilla twist cone.  You got the hang of licking the ice-cream but couldn't keep up with the drips! We went for a short walk on the peninsula.  Dada headed off to  Butler for the State Bowling Tournament and you and I went home to play in the water table and wind down for the day.

We are planning your birthday party on June 2 at the Erie Planetarium, more details later!
