Today Dawson turned the big 2! We had family and friends over on Sunday afternoon for cake and home made ice cream. I also had regular ice cream and brownies available. And, of course, chocolate syrup and caramel syrup. Each person could concoct whatever they wanted.
Dawson really didn't know what to think about all the people. I think he kind of gets overwhelmed around a lot of people still. He didn't really know to blow out the candles so I helped him a bit. He REALLY enjoyed his cake, though!
Then he opened his presents. He had a LOT of help opening his presents. He got lots of toys and some clothes.
Then tonight we gave him our gifts from us. I had been thinking since we brought him home that he needed a little Husker cap his size since he likes to put on Daddy's caps and my Husker cap. So I went and got one of those -- just in time for the first game on Saturday! The other 2 things we got him were a set of 26 soft blocks so he can build things (they can also go in his mouth (which everything does anyway) and be thrown a bit and won't hurt) and a Melissa & Doug Latches Board. This proved to be the most popular toy of the night. He concentrated for quite a while on getting the latches open to be able to open the doors and see what was behind them. Even though it says it's for age 3+, I knew he would like it because he likes to try to figure out how things work. He's really a smart kid!
So, enjoy the pictures.
Lots of help!
LOTS of help.
But he opened presents like a pro!
He's reaching for the Husker bag first!
Ripping out the tissue paper....
Taking off the stickers....!
Latches board.
OK, I'll look up from the latches board and give you a cheesy grin!
Happy Birthday, Dawson!
We love you!
