happy birthday, dylan!

just wanted to come by really quickly and wish dylan a happy birthday...his party is this weekend and hopefully he will enjoy it and not want to just get to his nap like he did last year. thought we might celebrate more today than we are, but he still isn't feeling 100% after having pinkeye this week. can i say how much fun it is to try and chase those crusty eye boogers out of a squirmy boy who wants nothing to do with it? yeah, it rocks. if only the adhesive on the back of chipboard letters was as strong as the hold those pinkeye boogers had on his lashes, i would be in good shape. anyways, will probably spend the rest of the afternoon home relaxing with him and swinging in the backyard

he is celebrating two with a slew of new words, after not repeating a single word we've said to him for the other 100 weeks, someone must have hit the on switch and now he repeats everything. good thing too because i didn't want to face the shame yet again at the checkup with the doctor of him still not talking. yesterday he had the cha-cha's and i must have made an impression with my "yuck's" and "ew's" because he's been running around saying that all day long. we went to the gym this morning and he acted like the day care sucked, but when i snuck in to pick him up, he was in the middle of like five kids dancing and singing as they laughed at him and clapped. always the entertainer...available for work anytime. he needs to work because soon i won't have an income and someone needs to make us some fun money...here he is, the happiest boy in the world...
