We have had a crazy last few weeks around here. My mom and Aunt Barbie
were here for 10 days to help us celebrate Charlie's 2nd birthday and it
was an action packed trip. Charlie loved turning 2, he had school that
morning and was thrilled to bring donut holes to share with his
friends, apparently he talked about them all morning and every time
someone mentioned that it was his birthday, and then when it was finally
time to eat them he had a half a donut hole. He's all talk. We did a
family dinner at home the night of his bday, and he got to have his
special train cake that Bub made for him. The next day we went to 2
Toots, the train restaurant, for lunch and then met the Hoelting clan in
the afternoon for bowling, one of Charlie's favorite things. It was a
great birthday celebration and Charlie enjoyed being in the spotlight
for a few days. Unfortunately turning 2 wasn't all smiles for Squatty;
on Sunday he fell and hit the corner of the coffee table and split open
his forehead above his eye. We ended up in the ER and Charlie got 4
stitches. He handled it really well considering the circumstances. He
had to be put in the mummy board and everything so it was kind of
traumatic, but he was a champ and seemed to be back in good spirits
within about a day and half. But in true Charlie fashion, he needed to
make the situation a little more dramatic. On Wed he somehow managed to
trip on a ball and fall and hit the same corner of the coffee table
with his head. He didn't land directly on the stitches, but he hit
right below them and managed to knock all four of them out. Yep - all 4
stitches gone. So back to the ER we went, and we had the same
doctor....who actually made me feel better and said that kids his age
rip out stitches quite often. I guess they can't re-stitch an area like
that right away and she didn't want to use the glue - so for now his
wound is taped shut and bandaged over. Welcome to 2 crazy Charlie! So
with that, a handful of miscellaneous house projects that my mom and
Aunt helped me with and all of our regular weekly activities and
sporting events, its been a hell of a week. Thanks to everyone who
thought of Charlie and for all the wonderful gifts, he has been in
heaven with all of his new loot and an extra special thanks to Mom and
Bub for all their hard work and company. Here's a picture overload from
the last 10 days. I have some pics of Charlie at the ER on my phone
that I may add later this week - I think they probably have to be
documented along with the rest of his birthday craziness:)
Birthday bubbles - one of Charlie's obsessions
Before getting his bowling set, bowling over the milk jugs was his favorite thing

It was an action packed week, that's for sure. However, I would have been more than happy leaving out the trips tp the ER!
Welcome to 2 Charlie man, we do love you so.
Yes we do love you.You were so shy and charmed with the cake. Your brother Alec is the greatest pastry assistant wanting a special cake for his brother. I had a wonderful time with you guys.
Happy Birthday to Charlie! Sorry about his ER visits-what a trooper! I see he and Mac both enjoy extra large sized bowls of cereal. Love his train cake!
