Haydens 2nd Birthday


Seriously, 2! Most people would say it seems like yesterday my little boy joined our family. But with Hayden it seems like he has been my little boy as a long as I can remember. He had such a special day filled with the best way to celebrate a birthday, yummy treats! He scarfed his strawberry and whip cream pancakes....

Licked the frosting off the cupcakes he took to pool group. And enjoyed a fun meal at Chick'fil A and hard core playing all day!

When I was younger I remember my mom making my birthday such a special day and I now know why. It is so fun to see the excitement out of such little things. Kids get so excited!

When we picked up his cake at Sam's he COULD NOT stop staring at it. When it went in the back seat of the car he just kept pointed and saying "Mannder" "Keen" a.k.a. Mator and Lighting Mcqueen.

Best part of the whole day was the Mack truck Grandma Cindy sent. Wow, he was so excited! He just kept saying "open it, open it, please, please!"

He could have cared less about the HUGE truck mom bought for a super good deal at a yard sale in Ohio and dragged ALL the way across the country just for his birthday! Hadley sure loves it! The last two night before he goes to bed he has to give Manner, keen and Mack a goodnight kiss. Talk about worldly, lol. Hilarious.
Hayden has such a different personality. He is so quite and reserved. But around his family he will talk forever. He is very shy in big groups. He is very particular about things, such as... the fan in my bedroom always needs to be off (even when it 85 degrees.) Doors need to be shut, lights off when you leave a room. Hadley needs a baby doll and blankets need to eat breakfast too. Hayden gets along so well with Mom and Hadley. We went through a stage for a few weeks where I honestly didn't know if I would survive being his mother. Than he turned back on the charm and things are back to normal. But I got a taste of the terrible two's/threes whatever it is. Hayden is such a momma's boy.He is getting better.He is very protective of his sister, and kinda struggles when others hold her. He is just starting to get into the hitting stage and is actually very good about going in time out. He is constantly saying "there ya go" and "Come on!" Like anyone that has brought a little spirit into this world would say, He brings such joy and happiness to our world and I couldn't image life without him.
