Jack had a great birthday, full of tractors, trains, and Elmo. All his favorite things! We took him to Red Lobster for dinner because he loves clam chowder too. We got him a battery powered tractor, which he's really excited about. He's still figuring out the gas pedal, but after showing him a couple of times, he's got the basic idea down. He hasn't quite mastered pushing the pedal and steering at the same time.
I made him a cake during my extra day home because of the snow storm. Unfortunately, it looked better than it tasted, but not bad for a first try. Jack really liked the tractor on the top and spent
more time driving the tractor around on his cake than he did eating it. 
Jack enjoyed all his presents. He got a piggy bank. He knows it's a pig, but he kept saying pig, "moo"! If you ask, he can also tell you that pig says "la, la, la," which is a line from one of his books where 3 singing pigs say, "la, la, la." If you say it first, he can repeat "oink," but we can't get him to switch from "moo"! He got several Elmo books and coloring books and a cute Elmo doll. His grandma Harper made him an awesome super hero outfit, complete with cape and mask to go with his Super Hero potty training book. He won't wear it yet, but I imagine in time we'll be complaining that he won't take it off!
Overall, it was a very fun time. I can't believe I have a 2 year old though! Time sure has speeded up something terrible.
Great pics of a great day. And a tractor too! In his coveralls he looks just the part - Framer Jack! and ready to h.elp in the garden
