2nd Birthday Wishlist

Our little man’s SECOND birthday is coming up next month.  I can’t believe how time is flying!  We are planning a special birthday party at the babysitter’s house, complete with a delivered pizza lunch, juice boxes, cupcakes, balloons, and goodie bags.  He’s got real friends now!!  So rather than having a party for our adult friends, we decided to focus more on him this year.  We will, of course, celebrate with him on the day of by throwing him a special family party of our own!
We have a few gift ideas in mind.  Since he loves helping us in the kitchen, he's getting this KidKraft vintage play kitchen.  We will lend him some of our pots/pans/spatulas, but also like this toaster and this toy Keurig.  He loves planes and cars, so he's getting this Cars sticker book and this book about planes.  We also got him several new pairs of jammies, including Steve's favorite, these with the monkeys.  He'll also get some new bath paints for the tub.




The things Xavier picks up on at this age always amaze us.  On our walks around the neighborhood, he routinely waves and shouts out "Hello!" to everyone we pass.  Then he will say "Bye, love you!" just like how Steve and I talk!  He is very sociable and active on the playground.  He especially enjoys sliding down twisty slides and stopping at the bottom so he can jump off.  He likes swinging from the bar that's above the slides.  He just hangs, tucks his knees to his chest, and swings.  We never knew at this age he could hold his own weight.  And if there's a group of kids playing, it isn't long before Xavier is right in the middle of the group, playing along too, even if they are middle-school-aged!
