Nicholas' family gathered to celebrate his entrance into the terrible two's. So far, they're not too terrible.
His birthday marks his new-found love of "Trains!" though he hasn't left his love of trucks behind. It was so much fun to watch him blow out his candles. (Yes, that is a fire truck birthday cake crafted by yours truly. I would describe it as a Monet: it looks great from afar, even recognizable, but a mess close up. I have to work on my decorating skills if I don't want my cakes to end up on the cakewrecks blog.) At one point he tried to combine playing with his trains in his new wagon in the tunnel, but it had mixed results. We continue to enjoy each and every day with our wonderful son. He is such a joy.
