A birthday bash

The boy celebrated being 22-months old today by going to a friend's 2nd birthday bash. Bailey got a great sand and water table along with a swing set...and man the boy had some fun! He loves water so he was pretty partial to that part of the table...the pictures don't capture it all and I'm not sure exactly how the saga began. When I stepped inside to feed a hungry little girl, the boy was happy and dry. When I returned, he was completely soaked with bits of sand all over him and crying. Bailey's dad got us a towel, we removed his t-shirt, put on a borrowed shirt from Bailey, and tried to settle him. He was gladly distracted by cake and ice cream. He ate both with his hands while waving his spoon around and ended up with it on his head, face, replacement shirt and towel. We ended up with him in their bathtub and left in a second replacement shirt and a diaper. He had a blast at the party!!! I must say it was quite comical...and fortunately the birthday girl was none the wiser!








Here's a shot of dads and their daughters. These girls are both the second children in their families with older brothers and were born only 5 weeks apart. This just melts my heart...just like these dads' hearts melted when they held their daughters for the first time.
