Micah is 2 today

My darling Micah turned two today. Of course I got him all his favorite foods, as any self respecting mom would want to: waffle for breakfast, ravioli for lunch, and for dinner...cake, cake, and more cake! As it was a Sunday we did go to church of course. At 2 years old Micah finally stays alone by himself in nursery. He had lunch and then went down for a nap. I found him sleeping on the floor. After nap time we opened presents. We had set up his marble tower in the morning which he played with for an hour and a half. He was so happy with it that he wasn't interested in any other toys...or breakfast. He was a bit cranky after his nap and really wasn't interested in presents then either, until we opened the pat pat rocket for him. The toy was a big success, and when it was time to leave for the park he had no intention of going with us, so into his toy was he. At the park the kids did have a blast though. Carter, Cai and Jona are his best buds. Everyone shared nicely with each other. The pot luck was awesome. I couldn't help but feel in these two hours that this is what the joy of family is about...these precious hours when we're all together, the grown ups talking and sharing fun stories, and the kids laughing, running, and playing outside with each other. Even the weather was perfect, overcast at first, it finished in a lovely sunny evening with a slight breeze. A perfect day. We stayed out until 8 PM, an hour past the kids bed time. We figured with all the sugar there was no point in putting them down early.
The funniest part of the evening was no doubt, that it had slipped our attention that Micah's diaper hadn't been changed since church, so 7-9 hours ago. As any mom will know that means it had gotten rather soaking wet, so by the time he had a bowel movement...He was in the swing. Mike Lowe was pushing him when he withdrew his hand and said: euw, what is this? Yes, it was what you thought, and it was all over the swing, all over Micah's pants, legs, and shirt, and so exactly 2 years after his birth, Micah returned to his birthday suit in the park, as we had to strip him down, to his bare skin. Gross, but sort of funny.
