My little Noah Bear is 2 today! While others are chatting about the End of the World and the shortest day of the year, we are celebrating our little Winter Solstice Baby!

WHAT LITTLE BOYS ARE MADE OF
A wee bit of dirt
And a devilish grin
Curious eyes..
And spaghetti sauce chin.
A dollop of mud
Behind his right ear;
And a handful of worms
In his pocket, I fear.
You see his knees
through the holes in his jeans.
He likes ice cream,
But won’t eat beans.
He’s made of mudpies
And bubble gum kisses.
And wonder at Christmas
And birthday wishes.
A heap of giggles
And wiggles and love;
These are the things
Little boys
Are made of.
-Patsy Gaut
This morning he is having cupcakes with his friends at school and then tonight we are celebrating with our neighborhood friends with some cupcakes and juice for the kids and cupcakes and cocktails for the adults. Because, really me and Jim are toasting each other for surviving another year of parenthood!
