God is Good

Tomorrow, Ivan will be two! He's acting two in many ways already with his strong willed arguments and curiosity induced explorations into trouble. He doesn't speak clearly but says just about everything in his garbled language. I wish I could put a sound clip on here of his interpretation of a train sound. It starts out with a very sick sounding whistle "uueehh, uueehh!" and then is followed by the chuga-chuga sound but it's more of a gargling "legalegalega" when Ivan does it. It's very hard to spell.

We had a family birthday party for Ivan while Granddaddy and Grandma were here. On Friday after Thanksgiving, the Bowen cousins all came over and we had lunch together along with some cake and ice cream.

To commemorate the actual date of his arrival tomorrow, we'll meet daddy at Chick-fil-a on his way home from work and have some dinner and fun and then maybe do a little shopping. Ivan needs nothing for his birthday this year. He has more toys than he knows how to fight over and sufficient clothes for the season. However, he might enjoy getting a Christmas tree for his birthday since we haven't picked one up yet. A birthday gift the whole family can enjoy.
