THOMAS!

Owen will be TWO this weekend. Yup, you read that right...two years old! I can't even believe it. Where has the time gone? (Of course, according to Owen, he is going to be four this weekend, so clearly time is moving even more quickly than I have been giving it credit for!) His party is at a local kids gym and he is SUPER excited! He has been singing "Happy Happy to Owen" for days now. So, I decided to let go of my over-planned and coordinated, anal-retentive tendencies, and we took Owen to Wegmans to let him pick out his own birthday cake. He flipped through the big book of cakes, and when he saw this one, his eyes lit up. "THOMAS! And PERCY!" The anal side of me was screaming, "but it doesn't "go" with the rest of the party." The rest of me melted and immediately started giving the order to the sales person. I love that my little guy has things that he is into - Thomas, clearly, is very high on the list - and I love thinking about how excited he's going to be when he actually sees his very own Thomas cake! Now back to getting things ready for the big day...
