Happy Easter / birthday to you!

After a really shaky lead up with sick boys I feared that our Easter party would be a bust.  We managed to power through a day of baskets, egg hunts, travel, Motrin, family, cake, and presents.

Bub was such a good boy today. He was patient and did his best to share his party with Easter. (Family can attest that he was somewhat accusatory during lunch that we weren't eating as quickly as he wanted, but cake was on the line.) We're really proud of how far he's come in this last year. It's tough welcoming a new brother and he's done a great deal of growing up. He's a big boy now.

Cubby was so easy going that we didn't even notice he had a temperature until we got back from Grandma's. The little nugget is finally asleep after a rough evening.

Putting Bub down to sleep, I asked him what his favorite gift was,  and there was a heap to choose from.
"The duncleostious!  (the fish toy on his cake I painstakingly made him.)
I like presents from my friends."
"I'm your friend,  Bub. "
"You're my BEST friend EVER! "

The kid knows how to turn on the love. It's all worth it for a moment like that. Now I'm going to faint.
