I had such great plans for Jack's birthday this year, none of which came to fruition. I was going to do a vehicle-themed party with a layered cake inside his actual Tonka truck. It was going to be adorable, but life and moving intervened. We ended up at Burger King during lunch because that was the only time the majority of the family could make it. Even then, both grandpas missed the fun. Luckily for him, Grandma Linda made Jack cupcakes, and he really did enjoy playing in the play place. I love two year olds. They don't care about having a perfect party. They care about having cake, bless their little hearts.
It may have been a lackluster party, but he sure did love his presents. The theme was definitely bubbles this year. He got bubble machines from both grandparents along with a strider bike from my parents and a toy shopping cart from us. So much fun! Darreck had to work for blind camp in the afternoon, so Jack got to spend the entire afternoon playing with his loot. It was little kid heaven.
We are so grateful for our curious, inquisitive, mischievous, lovable little man. He has the sweetest temperament, and loves to cuddle and read books with us. He's at the stage where he loves to destroy the house and make messes, but that's mostly a result of his desire to know everything about everything. He's also learned to defend himself against his brothers, which gets him in trouble from time to time, but I can't really blame him. His two big brothers are a little rough with him. Lately, his vocabulary has been really cute. He loves to say yes and no with this adorable, dead-pan, big-eye look. Jack also likes to point out and name everything he knows the word for- truck, car, turtle, train, cat, dog, and on and on. His favorite toys are cars, and his favorite foods are chicken nuggets and french fries. If you ask him to tell you his name, he proudly proclaims, "Roo-Roo!"
We love our Jack-Jack so much! Happy second birthday Jackaroo :)
