Chandler drops the big Deuce

Tonight was Chandler’s second birthday. He doesn’t have a lot of birthdays to compare it to, but he thinks it was the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!!!!

Sunday we had Baseball themed birthday party and invited over a bunch of friends. There were a handful kids there and they all did a great job of playing near each other. Chandler loved all the company and went bounding from group to group to show off his jumps, kicks and other assorted feats of athleticism.

Finally it was time for some cake and to sing Happy Birthday. If you don’t remember the result of last year’s birthday song, here’s a reminder.

Last year, as everyone gathered around and sang happy birthday, it was as if Chandler thought his time on this planet was done and they were “singing him out.” He really didn’t like it.

Here’s the result of this year’s birthday song.

Ashley did a great job of preparing Chandler for this year. They read dozens of birthday books, talked about birthdays for weeks, and sang the birthday song over and over. Chandler was prepared, and he loved it.

Now the big guy is two years old. Everyone that hears that loves to say, “Oh! The ‘Terrible Twos’. Have fun with that!” Or “Uh oh, it’s about to get terrible.”

You want to see a terrible two? How about my terrible two fingers poking your eyes out!

I don’t believe for a second that this has to be any tougher than any age.

What’s that sound? It sounds like more experienced parents laughing at me. Well, go ahead! Laugh all you want. But I’m sticking to my guns.

The other day, I asked you guys if I was crazy for thinking that Chandler’s twos won’t be terrible. Here is what some of you said.
