Rece is 2! On his actual Birthday....he got slammed with some cough/cold/flu crap. Poor guy! He had something mild over the weekend, but then on Valentines Day, Monday he got hit by the truck of a virus. So bad so quick they did a chest x-ray again because I swear when this kid gets sick he always sounds like he has the pneu. Chest x-ray was negative but he was so sick they gave him a 5 day course of steroids...it helped some....but then he either got a new cold or the old one wasn't done because it came back. And yada yada yada....I THINK we are finally over it now - no less than 2 weeks later.


Anyway, we didn't celebrate too much that day which made me sad, but we did give him a few gifts from us so that he could play with them when he was home from school over the next couple of days. He liked the opening and of course the playing with the presents.


The following weekend we planned a celebration with all of the grandparents who came in from Michigan. He was feeling much better (compared to Monday at least) and we did it up with Balloons, Cupcakes and a cookie cake made and decorated by my Mom. As you can see by the pictures below it was a combo of Thomas the Train and the "Cars" movie. We decorated and got things set up while he was napping and then when he came downstairs it was all a surprise for him. He could see the balloons and gifts from the top of the stairs and he said "Oh Wow!" then he basically directly to the biggest box and started tearing paper. He is such a lucky boy to have such a great family that loves him so much and spoils him with such neat toys and books and clothes!


We had a really good weekend. (I will spare you the story of the urgent care visit over the weekend and the follow up peds visit on the Monday following for another post)
And it was a crazy feeling to celebrate the little man turning 2. I think I enjoy him more every day. He is so smart, funny, and beautiful and I am proud that I am his mommy.
