Myles's dinosaur themed 2nd birthday bash was held on Sunday, August 15th. The weather was perfect and Myles had a wonderful time. He had about 45 guests, both friends and family, help him celebrate. (This picture was obviously taken before the party started.)
The party was primarily held in the backyard, although most kids played with toys inside for awhile as well. Myles had his pool, water table and new sprinkler beach ball out for the kids to play with as well as his bubble mower, bubbles, basketball hoop, bag toss and new soccer ball and net. Cousin Cole was also nice enough to share his bounce house for the party, which was a big hit. Everyone kept very busy.
After a lunch of burgers, brats, hot dogs, dinosaur shaped PB&Js, chips, fruit and veggies, the cake was served. Myles had to sample a bit of the frosting first, of course.
As usual, Myles enjoyed his cake immensely. We actually think that he ate some cake in addition to the frosting this time! Must have been to honor the occasion.
After a brief nap and a snack, it was time to open the large number of gifts that Myles received. Grandma and Papa T., Gramma and Papa A. and Aunt Jenny and Uncle Mike were able to stay for the gift opening. Myles was very excited about each one of his gifts and played with each and every one of them after opening them before moving on to open the next gift. It was so fun to watch him enjoy all of his presents. He is a very loved (and spoiled) little boy! What a fun, fun day!
For quite some time now, Myles has been climbing in and out of his crib at will. So, Mommy and Daddy decided it was time for a big boy bed.
Myles moved into his big boy bed on August 21st and he was so very excited about it! He jumped around and couldn't wait to crawl up on it. Myles's big boy bed was also Daddy's bed when he was a little boy, so it is extra special. Myles has been sleeping in his big boy bed for more than a week now and he is doing a great job - he has not been getting out of bed at bedtime and he hasn't fallen out once. As one of his birthday presents, Aunt Jenny and Uncle Mike gave Myles some sports ball sheets to go with his new quilt and he loves pointing out the different types of balls on them. He is very proud to be such a big boy and his parents are very proud of him as well!
