Drew is finally 2-years old! I say "finally" because he's been acting like a 2-year old for six months now. We had a family party with Thomas the Train. He loved the "Choo-Choo Happy" cake - completely sugar-free I might add. (Sugar-Free Sidenote - For the last 12 months he has had molescum and I'm tired of dealing with it. It is a toddler virus that is contagious through contact - I think. All I know is I didn't let Corbin and Drew bathe together for the first year of Drew's life because Corbin had it at the time. (He got it from Audrey when she was about 4 1/2 and he was 2. Corbin just barely grew out of it.) Well, I don't want the new baby to have it so we have tried to figure out why Drew has it. The latest theory aside from being susceptible because he has eczema, is that it is a food allergy. His "allergic" reaction happens to be to SUGAR!!! Shoot me now. Do you know how limited your diet is if you take away sugar, fruit, fruit juice, honey, pure maple syrup, and limit your carbohydrates. FOR A TWO-YEAR OLD nonetheless. But, in my best efforts I have found recipes that accommodate his diet.) I was pretty proud of the cake considering the strawberry sauce (berries have minimal sugar) was leaking out the sides when I tried to frost the flat cake with BLUE lemon cream-cheese frosting. And then I pulled apart a Thomas the Train set and used it as decor. :) Way easier than trying to create a cake and find stuff to decorate with that is sugar free.
Anyway, we had pizza, which is Drew's new favorite, and sang happy birthday. He loved re-lighting the candles to blow them out again and again. Each time he got a little better. The first go he probably spit on that cake 10 times before he had any results! Drew loved his new tricycle. Now we'll work on pedaling!
In all the pictures, Drew is wearing pretend safety eye-goggles. He found them a day or two ago and loves to wear them around. It's hilarious, but makes for a good looking party hat! Now Corbin on the other hand needs a party hat. A week ago his hair was "bugging" him so he cut it. Very proudly, he came and showed me his new do in which he said he was very careful to use hair scissors. Haha...we had a talk about who is allowed to cut his hair.
We also sang Happy Birthday to Corbin and let him open his presents since Brandon will be gone fishing on his Birthday. For months Brandon has been telling me he needs a hobby to share with Corbin. SOOOOOOO, welcome to the world of dirt-bikes. Corbin got his very own motorcycle.
