We had our families of for Max's birthday on Sunday for cake and ice cream. I love the way Max's cupcake Curious George cake came out! (Say that 5 times fast!) Max loves Curious George, it's one of the only shows on TV that will hold is interest - so we had a monkey cake for my little monkey.
3 months ago when Grace turned 3 she was so mean to Max about her new presents. She wanted me to put them on the high dresser so Max couldn't get to them, even when she wasn't playing with them. I know she is only 3, and they were her brand new presents but she was over the top about them. I remember thinking, "I can't wait until Max's birthday and you won't get to play with his presents." Needless to say, Grace had a hard time. She thinks they are either hers, or that Max can share. And Max is so easy going that she gets away with playing with most of it!
I got Max a dinosaur castle, and he got some other fun things for his birthday. He was so stinking funny anytime he opened clothes he would shake his whole body and say "NO! No!" and go back to the toys. I love the picture of Grace hovering over him just checkin it out - isn't that so nice of her?
Just a little note, my children always have clothes on when we start eating, but I pretty much strip them down to eat anything too messy. I'd rather them not stain their shirts....
What a good boy using his fork to eat those messy, yummy treats! And yes, his hand was stained green the next day.
As a parent do you ever buy things and wonder why? I about died when we opened the dinosaur castle, it had so many pieces. The instructions were not labeled and it wasn't the funnest thing we've ever put together, but Max (and Grace) like playing with it so I guess we'll call it a win.

Cute cake! Sometimes I wonder why we bother to buy toys at all when they love an empty toilet paper roll, scratch paper, and dirt just as much! :)
I love his cake! And I think he is just adorable! Who would have thought two years could go so fast?!
