Toddler bed, potty training, and TWO!

I can't believe my baby turned 2 this past week! I thought the first year of life went by quickly with so many changes, but boy did this past year go by fast. Luke has changed & developed SO much. A year ago he said 1 or 2 words and wasn't even walking yet. Now he runs everywhere and does not stop talking until he's in bed at night! He is definitely a toddler-wanting to do EVERYTHING on his own. When he decides to do something, he WILL do it, including sleeping in his big boy bed and going in the potty. A few months before Bennett arrived we set up his toddler bed (generously given to us by people from church), and began talking all about how big boys slept there. He had absolutely no interest in it until a few weeks ago and he officially gave up his crib just a few days ago (sniff, sniff). We have also done the same thing with potty training. We have talked about it for months, placed a small potty in our bathroom for awhile, and told him when he turns 2 that's where he would go. We are on day 4 of potty training and I can proudly say my son is potty-trained (while at home anyway!)!!

We celebrated his birthday with family and a few friends this past weekend. Luke's 2 obsessions are Mickey Mouse and BUBBLES!! So we ate a Mickey Mouse cake-my amazing sister-in-law helped me make it!-and blew bubbles. It was simple, fun, and Luke was surrounded by people he loves and adores.
