Asa's 2nd Birthday

Asa turned 2 on October 1st....I can't believe it. The morning of his birthday, he said "teetee potty" and went twice, like he was trying to prove what a big boy he was. Though I am eager NOT to pay for diapers anymore, I am in no rush to potty train or for him to do ANYTHING that makes him not a baby anymore. I wish I could freeze time and keep him just the way he is, but I keep saying that at every phase of his life! So, he can use the potty when he asks, but I'm keeping those diapers on for a while...they are my last!

For his birthday party (on Oct. 4th), we did a Sesame Street theme. There were lots of games for the kids to play, and I made some yummy Sesame Street Treats. When Elmo came (Uncle Shawn dressed up in the costume), Asa took off running in the other direction. I later learned that he thought it was a "big bear." He eventually warmed up to him enough to stand beside him, but would NOT let Elmo hold him. There was a great turnout of family and friends, and we had a super time!

There were tons of fun games on Sesame Street!

Asa wanted to eat the cookie bean bags himself instead of letting Cookie Monster have them.

Avery and Baylor hunt for candy in Oscar's Trash Can.

Carson and Avery pick ducks for a prize in Earnie's Rubber Duckie Pond.

Asa loved playing with the Elmo bean bag toss.
