Two??!?!? Seriously!?!?!

Well, its official...Fletcher is a whole two years old now!  Apparently this happened over the course of a couple months and not really two years like the calender says.  Theres no way two years could have passed by this quickly.  I say there is a conspiracy at work here.  At this point I'd say there isn't much I can do about it though but hang on tight!
For Fletchers low key Georgian Birthday I decided to make a little mini man cake.  Daddy chose chocolate/chocolate which was fine by me - wasn't sure how I was going to decorate it, but creativity struck as I got busy and this is what I ended up with: A two tier cake completely encrusted with sprinkles on the top.  I'm pretty proud if I do say so myself!

I went in and sneaked a picture while Fletcher was sleeping, on the last day of his second year...sweet bitty bits, don't you want to snuggle him!?

As you can see from the following photos, Fletcher approved of his chocolate/chocolate cake :)

I personally think it was pretty tasty :) After a short bath we did presents!  I was most excited about some nice wood blocks we got him, and sure enough he thought they were pretty keen.  Daddy and he got to work on something right away.

This kid catches on quick!

Fletcher first action figure: A strangely proportioned G.I. Joe (that I wish had an off button ;)

Fletchers first tool kit came with some 'safety glasses' that had no 'glass' in them...what are we teaching our kids?!?!?

I thought Fletcher would enjoy this little Fisher Price farm set - lots of plastic, but he has really enjoyed it.  Fletcher has really gotten into a chucking-things-across-the-room habit and chickens apparently make really good ammo for this activity.  So do the wood blocks unfortunately.  Hopefully this phase will pass quickly, hehe.

The birthday boy also got some Seuss books, some alphabet flash cards and some Wiggles DVD's for silliness when we get home and don't have TV anymore.  I think Fletcher will miss SpongeBob the most.

While we had a fun little party down here just the three of us, we are looking forward to a larger get together back home when we return to Louisville so we can catch up with all our family and friends.  That time shouldn't be too far off too, so there will be more info on that soon!
