Sweet little Wesley James turned TWO in the month of May. Momma and Daddy did not have much time or energy to plan a big event but for planning it in only five days - our Lego Party turned out to be a huge hit!
Our sweet friends offered up their back patio for our crew to hang out in and we used their inflatable swimming pool to hold the thousands of legos. I must say - there is no better way to entertain a group of kids and keep them calm, then to have a lego party. We kept it small and simple and it was a blast!
Our little Wesley is becoming quite an entertaining little boy. Actually, we think he is a blast. A whole lot of energy and curiosity get him into interesting situations that are making memories and mommy a little crazy at the same time. Eating a dishwasher tablet, playing in the toilet water, unrolling numerous toilet paper rolls just for fun, drawing on the couch and the wall and his body, dumping out hundreds of his sister's tiny beads all over the floor, pouring out the 3 gallon jar of ground coffee on the kitchen floor, well - you get the picture. I could go on and on. The funny thing is just about all of those happened in just one day... by 10am. Not kidding. That was also the day that mommy was trying to redeem this said terrible day with a group bible time and Wesley cuddled up in my lap and sweetly reached over to my bible, turned a few pages and just ripped an entire page in half.
Ironically enough, that rip was right in the middle of Proverbs 31. I do not lie. I have scotch tape there now to prove it. Oh Wesley, you daily remind me that I need to stay on my knees to raise your boy heart.
You steal our hearts with your smile, your hysterical sense of humor (at such a young age), your sweet voice singing numerous worship songs, and your remarkable guitar playing positions.
WJ has already learned that the answer to most questions is... God. He still uses both hands to draw but his left hand to play his "no string" guitar. I know, I know - we are going to get him a real one some day. The no string one is not a bad idea though...I'm just sayin'.
He has also learned how to push just about every button on his sister's patience remote and there are many lessons learned daily in their relationship. Isn't that the sweetest part about siblings? So sanctifying isn't it?! Oh, but they play together so well. Wesley has carried on the lego-loving torch from his sister. They can play for hours. Literally. (Hence the party idea) He is also the proud owner and rider of his very own Razor scooter. You have to be pretty coordinated (and determined!) to maneuver that little baby on the sidewalks of NYC and he does it! He can also be found climbing ANYTHING, ANYWHERE.
He is seen carrying his blanket and either his puppy dog or his football around with him everywhere.
Even more than his blanket, Wesley James ADORES his daddy, and rightfully so.
He has a most tender spirit and when it's time to dress up, he puts on his helmet and carries his sword. When I ask if he is a mighty soldier, he turns to me and yells, "No, I'm a MAN!"
Oh, Wesley James. We love you more than words can say. You keep us all laughing... and crying. :)
Here's to the big TWO year old!

Sweet hilarious boy! I think he and LB would have a lot of fun together :) "Remarkable guitar playing positions" made me laugh out loud as did his various antics. Oh you are not alone mama :) BTW, after trying to tote around a toddler in the city for 1.5 days, I officially stand in awe of you. How on earth do you do it? And how did I not know about the amazing Hudson River Park in TriBeCa?
