It's nice Isaac has finally had his birthday. Now I can say I have a two-year-old, instead of needing to say he's almost 2 years old. He seems so BIG these days. Talking up a storm. We said goodbye to diapers altogether a few months ago. (Though we are still nursing. Yes, that means we're tandem nursing. It works for us for now.)
We had such fun as a family celebrating his birthday. The week before, anytime we'd ask, "Isaac, what do you want for your birthday?" he would always answer either "balloons" or "Emily". That would be Emily from Thomas the Tank Engine. He did get balloons. He carried either one or two pretty much all day on his birthday. And he got beloved Emily as well. His other favorite from the day was a little toy "hello-copter".
Happy birthday, Isaac!
