My, How Time Flies

Today it officially hit me...my little man turns the big 2 on Saturday. Can you believe it? Two years old. It amazes me how much time flies, and how much changes in just two years.

My kid amazes me every single day. I know that any parent in their right mind would say that about their kid...but I'm pretty sure my kid is more amazing than anyone else's. I won't bore you with all the hows. I'm not here to brag, anyway...that much.

Two years ago today I was hugely pregnant and dying to have this baby already. Little did I know that in just two days my water would break at work, and off to the hospital I would go. Eighteen hours later my firstborn would enter the world and change my life forever.

And now here I am. So much has happened in the last two years, and I'm so glad I've taken thousands of pictures and written everything down to help me remember. Now my chief worries are potty training and trying to keep swear words out of his vocabulary for as long as possible.


(yeah, he'll hate me for this someday)

He is a major fan of Sesame Street, and I'm excited to be throwing him a Sesame Street-themed party on Saturday. I've been in a tizzy all week getting everything ready. Wanna see?

First, the invitation:



And the decorations. There isn't much variety in official Sesame Street party gear out there, it turns out. But we make do, right?



And finally, the part I am most excited about. Rather than a regular cake, I've decided to go all-out creative for this most special of occasions. I'm going to make Sesame Street character cupcakes! I know, I know, it's a drastic undertaking, but I'm prepared. I took Friday off of work to make sure I would have plenty of time. I scoured every store in a 15-mile radius for just the exact right sprinkles to decorate them. And this is what I hope they end up looking like:





I'm excited to do something creative for my little man's party. I always think it means so much more when a little love and elbow grease go into something for someone you love. And I do love my little man!

Stay tuned for pics from the big day!
