Turning Two

Dylan is now two years old and he has been busy celebrating in style.  His birthday fell on a Friday this year and we had a lovely family day.


After opening lots of lovely presents, we watched the sunshine turn into a thunder storm and so stayed in playing with all the new Duplo.  As it dried up, we headed down for a stroll and to Pizza Express for some lunch

We were back home for nap time and then had a busy afternoon with visitors before going out for a short walk down to the seafront with Grandma and Granpa for a fish and chips tea and some cake on the beach.


With countless cards, gifts and messages and plenty of new toys, we took a very tired two year old boy to bed that night.


The birthday fun was not over, as Saturday was party day and we were joined by family and friends for a picnic in the park.  Dylan was spoilt yet again and the hours of energy and effort I had put into making him a special birthday cake were worthwhile when I saw his little face light up.



Spending the afternoon in the park meant skipping naptime, but when we eventually made it home, we did make time for a snuggle on the sofa and a little snooze as it was a tiring two days!


The adventure of two under two is now over, but we are definitely ready for this next chapter (once we have found space for all the new toys that is!)
