Birthday time again. I can't believe another year has flown by. I'm so proud of all of your achievements this past year buddy! From walking, to jumping on the trampoline, to flying down the street on your bike. You've got an amazingly good arm and love anything to do with balls, cars, trains, airplanes, trucks, helicopters, motorcycles, firetrucks, and you are an avid stuffed animal lover. You take such great care of all of your stuffed animals and love every single one of them and like to make sure that we love them all too. You are getting more and more words by the day and I know you are working hard on this whole talking thing. You are so much fun to be around and I feel so blessed and lucky to be your Mom.
This is right after your two year check up, buying some party supplies. Sucker in one hand and a cookie in the other
I didn't have the ambition/energy to do a real party for you this year (sorry dude, but lets be honest you won't remember it anyways). You still had quite the good birthday though I think.
The day before your birthday your Grandma and Grandpa Snyder drove up and brought you a new big boy bed! Twin size! Grandma took you to the store and let you pick out any toy you wanted, you found an awesome motorcycle that you love. We also celebrated with Panda Express and Root Beer Floats at our house.
On the 27th Dad had to work so it was just the two of us. We met up with your buddies Kayson and Landon Reynolds and had lunch at McDonalds and played at the play place. Then we went home and watched Planes together like three times.
The next day, Thanksgiving, was your day! We took down your crib, said goodbye to your binky and got your new room all set up! Grandma Beckstrand wanted to do a little birthday for you while we were there for Thanksgiving Dinner. I should have known a "little birthday" = a BIG Ashton celebration when it comes to Beckstrand parties. There were balloons and decorations and tractors and special Ashton things everywhere! You got spoiled with so many presents and there was even a pinata in the shape of a space shuttle, which you thought was absolutely awesome until everyone started hitting it. You took a few good swings at it but got pretty emotional when the bigger kids started breaking it. Sorry bud, you will soon learn that pinata's are awesome and they are even more awesome when they get broken!
I made pumpkin dessert for your birthday cake (it was Thanksgiving after all) and you did a stellar job at blowing out the candles.
We practiced a lot. I'm not sure you fully understood what all this meant but you knew you would be 2 once you blew those candles out. I was very proud of you for being so brave and doing it all by your self.
Mom and Dad love you so much Ashton. Two years has gone by so quickly. Wish I could slow it down while you still love to snuggle with me and need me to kiss any owie you might receive and hold your ears when things are to loud and you're scared. Everything about you is everything I've ever wanted.
