Well, well, well.... Asa turned two this past Saturday - and what a wild weekend we had. We celebrated for days. First up, on Friday his school had the annual Fall Festival where Asa and his buddies dressed up in costume and played games.
Saturday, we did our normal morning park routine, enjoyed a visit with Ann, took a long nap (a great 'unbirthday' present to Mama and Dada), had breakfast for lunch, and then headed to the Botanical Gardens for some awesome garden fun! We managed to get in a trip to the Farmer's Market, head home for dinner and a bath, then round out our day with the typical book end! Ha!
Sunday was another jam packed day with preparation of the big party. Asa had his friends (and some of Mom and Dad's friends, too) over for some monkeying around, along the usual fam. A big jumpy house, lots of toys, plenty of dirt and dogs, kept the kids busy. Asa received so many gifts and is busy writing his thank you notes... you know, he is a very advanced child.
Today rounded out the weekend with the typical visit to the doctor. Birthdays always mean checkups - unfortunately for Asa. I don't really have stats to provide... we were told Asa is off the charts for weight, height, and head circumference (i.e. bigger than most or nearly all 2-year-olds). So, the doctor went to the body mass index measurement to be sure it, too, wasn't off the charts - then we'd have a problem. Luckily, we were alright there. Asa's BMI was just under the 85th percentile. The doc assured us that we are good parents, after all. Woohoo! Just take down the milk from 2% to skim and ease up on the cheese - both going to be much harder than they sound. Other than that, Asa will surely be more active in the next year or two and thin out on his own.
Oh Mama's boy - so much to love... can't believe he's already two. Although according to him, when asked how old are you, he says "No two, Mama!"
