Birthday Boy!

Quaid turned two on the 12th of July. It was difficult for me to not be as involved as usual, but Mike did a wonderful job taking care of everything. He did the shopping, and Mikiya woke him up early on the big day so she could help wrap the presents. She was so excited you would have thought it was her birthday. I love it!

Quaid is a HUGE Mickey Mouse fan lately, so Mike made Quaid a Mickey Mouse cake. He absolutely loved it! He really wanted to help make it, and didn't even try making a mess during the helping. I thought it all turned out wonderful. I'm going to have to get better by the next birthday or I will surely be replaced permanently.

Quaid got a little race ramp and cars to go with it. He LOVES it! He and Mikiya both have played cars a ton. Quaid's favorite is to use the blue track and the blue car.






Some of Quaid's favorites!

  • Reading books


  • puzzles


  • playing with Mikiya


  • cars


  • balls


  • ice cream


  • playing in water

Swimming?

Our neighbors got a bigger pool and so they gave Mikiya and Quaid these little ones. They have been really excited, but I'm not sure they actually count as pools. At least the kids have had a blast. The best part was watching them jump from one to the other. Unfortunately, my battery died and I didn't get pictures of it. Maybe later.
