We wrapped up our Labor Day weekend by celebrating Spencer's 2nd birthday at a cookout. Madison doesn't have any cousins close in age (or proximity) so Spencer and his cousins are Madison's adopted family. We LOVE playing with them. Madison enjoyed sharing Spencer's alligator birthday cake and cupcakes and new toys. She and Spence had a great time trying to dump his new fish out of its container. Spencer's dad, John had to give the fish new water when they were finished as it barely had enough to flop around, let alone swim. The kids thought it was great!
In fact, Madison enjoyed Spencer's presents so much, she threw a total fit when it came time to leave. She decided she wanted to take Spencer's new Mr Potato Head home. She grabbed the handle like a purse and said she was ready to go. Then she grabbed Caleb's Woody doll under the other arm and started walking out the door. This marks the first time Madison tried to take possession of someone else's toys.
At times, when we leave her friend Noah's house she likes to borrow one of his toys, but she always identifies whatever we take as "Noah's". This time, she said, 'Come on Mommy, Madison's tato head, Madison's Woody' as she attempted to steal the toys.
The entire week following has been a challenge for us. This is Mommy's first week alone with the girls since Gramm left and Daddy is back at work. It's definitely a re-learning process for us.
Check out the pics from Spencer's day.
