Cole turns 2!

Cole recently had his birthday celebration.  He’s been to enough parties over the past weeks to get the idea that it’s a special day for someone, but he didn’t understand this party was for him, until the cake was placed in front of him as we all sang Happy Birthday.  At this point, Cole’s face lit up and he clearly understood.  Happy birthday, sweet Cole—we can’t believe it’s been two years! 

Cool as a cucumber

After weeks of observation, Cole finally decided that he wanted to take a ride on the four-wheeler.   If he was nervous or anxious, it didn’t show.  He just climbed aboard and was off, as if he’d already done it a hundred times.   And, when he was done, Cole just went on to the next thing, as if it was all old hat for an old pro.  Since his big ride, however, he is constantly talking about Grandpa’s  four-wheeler, so regardless of the smooth demeanor, I think he is quite pleased with himself.  As he should be!
