iTwo! iTwo!

He and I had been practicing all week - I'd ask him how old he was going to be on his birthday, and he'd say iTwo! iTwo! And instead of holding up his 1st and 2nd fingers, he'd hold up his thumb and index finger! I was like that counts! It's still 2 fingers! 

MAN OH MAN has Riley had a record birthday!! We celebrated for 4 days straight!!

Day 1 - His actual birthday. Cupcakes with his class at school! Yummy! And he didn't cry when they sang Happy Birthday to him, so that was a success!

Here are his basketball cupcakes! Yummy!

Here he is at school with his buddy Jacob! 

His current classmates are the 4 along the bottom - Riley, Jacob, Kayla and Cody (with the plate to his face). 

A closeup of the birthday boy. You can see his face is still a little red from when they all sang to him! Sweet!

Day 2 - Splash Day at school! This was a coincidence, but one of Riley's FAVORITE things is Splash Parks, so it was meant to be!

Here he is all decked out for "splash day" in his board shorts and surfing shirt! So cute!! He looks like Daddy!

This is also one of his birthday presents! A Little People Race track!

Day 3 - His actual party at Pump It Up! OMG! I was worried he'd be too young for it, but that wasn't the case at ALL! He LOVED it!! He had a BLAST!! And I think everyone else did too! Adults included! :) It was a resounding success!! I can't think of one thing that didn't go as planned or that I would have changed, so we're 2 for 2 on successful birthday celebrations! But I'm setting the bar high! Not sure I can maintain these standards long term!

Photos to follow! We had Ms. Jessica (the girl that does ALL his photos) come to his party to take pictures too! That way I wouldn't be stressed about that as well as everything else going on! I did capture some cute videos I'll have to edit down small enough to post eventually! To say Riley had fun would be the UNDERSTATEMENT of the year! He was the life of the party!! Even our party "attendants" were carrying on about how into it he was for his age! 

Day 4 - He opened his presents from his birthday party! He had so much fun at the party, he was too pooped to open gifts! And at this age, it would have been torture! It basically took hours at home b/c he'd have to take a break from opening presents and play with each present he opened as he opened it! Good Times!!

I forgot to take pictures of him opening presents! Oops! I think we may have a few after he opened them on the good camera. You can tell all the pictures taken here were with our little point n shoot, and it just doesn't cut it anymore! He's too fast for me! So Kelly bought me a nice Nikon camera for my birthday last year. I'm just still not that great at all the features!! I'll add more pictures later though if I have them!
