This is a couple of weeks delayed. Sorry I got busy between when I started it (on the 15th) and today (the 23rd)...
I'm just absolutely amazed that my little boy is two. The weekend was wild. My mom got here on Thursday afternoon, met me at day care to pick up Owen. That evening we went to her cousin's house for dinner (I've never met this cousin, and it was a really nice evening.) Owen behaved himself royally. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful and well-behaved little boy. (That said, he just threw a tantrum because I took him out of the bathroom where he was playing with the soap...) It was pretty late when we got home and Owen went right to sleep.
Friday was his actual birthday. I had a workshop in the morning in Seattle at the UW so Gramma took him to the Seattle Aquarium in the a.m. We came back down for lunch and then took O to his check-up. He is (drum roll please) 36.5" tall, which puts him in the 95th percentile and he weighs 31 lbs (8oth percentile!!!!). This means he's still getting taller and is putting on decent weight. He is still mister skinny-butt, but he's a tall mister skinny-butt! We went to dinner that night at Chuck E. Cheese. Never again will I go there on a Friday night. It was way crowded and I got over-stimulated. I can't imagine what it was like for Owen.
Saturday was a take-it-easy sort of day. We were getting ready for the birthday party that night. Jeffy helped a huge amount by taking Owen out of the house and running a couple of errands. That was probably the most helpful thing he could hsave done since I kept trying to put Owen's toys away and he kept taking them right back out. There ended up being five fewer people than we were planning on, which still put it at around 25 people here, and Owen again got pretty overwhelmed. A quick walk around the block helped him cool down.
I really didn't get to enjoy the party on Saturday because I was too busy dealing with the chaos of 25 people in our house. Not sure what I can do to change that in the future since most of the people were family and you can't easily not invite in-town family.
