Way to ring in that birthday, kiddo!

So my little guy turned two yesterday!  Part of me says, "yay- we're growing up", and another part of me says, "No!  Stop growing up!" 

We celebrated his big day by going about business as usual (his party isn't until Saturday), but very refreshed from the full night of sleep that he got and that he gave us.  Who knew that kids could give gifts to someone else on their birthday that were meaningful!?! 

And then there was last night...the night of all nights.  The night very similar to the one where he slept from 8 until 11 and then was up the rest of the night and morning.  The only difference was the hours in which he was asleep.  For some reason, he fought sleep last night until about 10.  I guess he was trying to squeeze every last bit of "fun" out of his birthday that he could.  He slept peacefully...until 1:30.  And then he was up...for the rest. of. the. night.  He may have slept another hour on and off throughout the course of the entire night.  So, can we say misery?? 

His sleep appointment is still 3 weeks away.  I hope we can make it until then... 

What a way to ring in your birthday little guy!  You don't think you could have thought of a more creative way to do that??  Like by having sweet dreams?  In your room? In your bed?  ASLEEP?
