2!

On Saturday August 7, 2010 my little boy turned 2!  How this happened I do not know, but it did sneak up on me.  We had a little shin dig for the little guy.  Some of Sterls boy cousins came to join in the fun.  We opened presents...
This is the 'big' present I made Sterling.  Well, this is what the 'big' present looked like after I cut all the pieces for it but before I put it together.
The reaction to the 'big' present.
This is the present I made Sterling.  He loves watching Trevor and myself work with tools all the time so I decided it was time to make him a place to play with his own set of tools.  $20 in lumber and 2 hours and this is what I came up with....All the tool benches in the store did not accommodate for his wheelchair and he would not be able to get close enough to play with anything.  So I custom designed this tool bench for the little guy.  It also seconds as a drawing table!  Bonus!
Apparently it was the hit of the party.  After I unveiled his present it was all the little boys would play with for the rest of the party.
Had to have the train cake.  Sterls loves Thomas and all sorts of trains.
He actually blew out both candles with minimal spit all over the cake, whew!
All is all it turned out to be a pretty fun party.  Minus, he ate too many treats and got a tummy ache later that evening.  It has to happen to us all sometime, doesn't it?
