The Big T-W-O!

Yesterday, our baby boy turned two. It's hard to believe that he's already that old, especially because since we've had Kupa'a I've been looking back at all of Waiola's baby pictures. How did he grow up so fast? He is definitely our big boy though. He talks non-stop, sleeps through the night about 50% of the time (which is major for this child), and is the sweetest big brother who is totally in love with "baby Kupaka" (a step closer from Kubaga).

To commemorate his big day, we decided we'd take him to Toys R Us and let him choose his own birthday present. He currently has a fascination with trains and trash trucks, so we knew we'd be bringing one of those home.

He quickly found the train tables that were set up in the train aisles and just wanted to hang out there and play for a good 45 minutes. We finally got him to leave the tables and walk around, and he and his daddy had a blast playing with dump trucks, ambulences, front loaders, bulldozers, and trash trucks. Aho thought for sure we were ready to go when he found a trash truck and said "Ok daddy, ready. Take home, ok?" Alas, after we finished looking at everything I think he was a little confused. We went back to all the trucks and things he really liked asking if he wanted this one or that one, and he kept saying "um, no." We finally ended up back at the trains where mommy and daddy made the executive descision to buy some train tracks for the two trains he already had at home. It turned out to be the right choice. He couldn't even wait for his daddy to finish putting the tracks together.

The rest of our day consisted of our birthday boy playing with his trains and tracks
opening his basket of fancy birthday cookies(courtesy of tutu and papa)
and of course, eating one
opening his books (thanks to granna and grandpa)
having a visit from Aunty Jo and opening the slippers he brought her (which he ran around the house in like a crazy man for the next hour)
and finally getting to eat the birthday cake he'd been asking for since breakfast.
He was such a happy little Birthday Boy. Little does he know that we're having a little birthday bbq for him next weekend with our families. I'm sure he'll be thrilled...again.

Oh what a lucky boy! I (Lohi) can just imagine him at Toysrus, playing with all the different toys. That is exactly how Na'u is but we don't let her take home anything :)...maybe for her next birthday we can do the same. Anywho....what a fun day for the birthday boy!

Right on Ola! I (Cameron)(...don't know why Lohi had to make a point that it was HER, rather than the both of us) can ALSO imagine him at Toysrus. I wish we were there. Hope the train set wasn't too expensive. Many more toys to come in the future.
