Happy 2nd Birthday, Charlie!

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday, dear Charlie...
Happy Birthday to you!

We took these pictures on Charlie's birthday, May 26, 2010. He was sick on his birthday with a fever virus, so the celebration didn't take place until his party. As you can see, his favorite surprise that morning was a train table, and he has not stopped playing with it since his birthday. It is actually a hand-me-down from Lily Kate and Price, but it was new to him. Now instead of looking forward to going to the shoe store and the doctor's office that has the train tables, he has his very own. He loves to look at the trains and to make them go. We neatly put it together, but now he likes to move the tracks all around saying, "Fix trains, Mommy. Fix train table, Daddy!"

I'll hear him in the playroom saying, "Choo choo! Choo Choo!" Tonight, he put a blanket over his "purple traing (as he prounounces it)" and said "Night night" to that and to the bridge. Truly, he is our little conductor.
