Dylan 2 take two

We had a second try at celebrating Dylan's birthday yesterday with his two little friends...Ivo and Adriaan and of course Ivo's brother Burl was there too. We even managed to re-create the cake. Dylan was behaving as though he really got it that it was for him, he ran around shouting and screaming with excitement from the time Adriann got there. He actually had such a sweat going at one stage that a change of clothes was required.

The boys had fun and as the morning went on they played really nicely together and independently of each other. The only altercations involved the high chair. It is funny, when we go to Ivo's house Dylan insist on sitting in Ivo's high chair and this upsets Ivo (even though he doesn't use it much) so when Ivo saw Dylan's high chair he decided it was payback time (pic below) Memories like elephants these boys.

Dylan got really excited with the candles on the cake , but proceeded to put a cookie in his mouth instead of blowing them out.

Dylan is two!!!!

Dylan turned two yesterday . I got my babycentre newsletter today and it said he is now a preschooler not toddler anymore..growing so fast..he is still my baby!! We woke up very early and he opened presents, he got a junior engineer set and a frying pan set (the latter due to his fascination with cooking) We set off to the Natural Science museum where he had a lot of fun running around the botanical gardens. It was a really hot day , if i look back to the pictures of his birthday last year we were all in winter gear and this year it is T-shirt weather. After a busy morning we came home for a nice nap. Unfortunately after his nap Dylan was very unhappy, he has been teething and initially i thought it was that. Turns out he has got a bit of a cold with an explosive nose. We were supposed to have his friends Adriaan and Ivo over to celebrate his birthday but we had to postpone. Adriaan is also sick with gastro and Ivo has a little brother in the house and we don't want him to catch anything from Dylan and pass it on to Burl. Still Ciro and I made his cake already, so here are some pics of Chicken Little
