I can't stress enough how blessed I am to be the mother of such amazing children. I love them so much and each day I am amazed at how incredible they both are. Dawson is our sweet little boy. Joey and I laugh all the time because he is such a boy. He loves anything that has to do with boys trucks, trains, super heroes, etc. We have a lot of girl stuff laying around and he never touches any of it. He is always pushing a car or his trains around. He has his Thomas the Trains that he got for his birthday. He now will not go in the car or to bed without a few of his trains. He has also started doing fighting moves which is really cute. We are perplexed where he picked these moves up from, but they are pretty funny.
Dawson is such polite little boy. If you give him something, he will say "thank you" without even being prompted. He also says, "No thank you" if he doesn't want something. I love how good his manners are for a two year old.
Dawson is learning each and every day. He already knows a lot of his letters. We are amazed at how well he can identify them. We are still working on colors, numbers, and other basic skills. He loves to be read to and is favorite books are the ones about trains and trucks. He insists on picking at his books each night. He always wants just one more book.
Dawson is such a joy to be around. He loves his Ella and his sister. He has a blast running around and laughing with them. He brings so much joy to all that are around him. He is genuinely an wonderful little boy.
I so look forward to watching him grow and develop while I continue to cherish each and every second.
Here are some pictures from his actual birthday.

On Dawson's actual birthday, we wanted to do something special and fun. We decided to go to the House of Bounce. We have been there once before in November. There is so much to bounce on and do and the kids loved it. It didn't disappoint again! We all had a great time. The best part is that parents are allowed to jump too, so I think my sister and I had just as much fun as the kids did. It was a perfect way to celebrate a birthday!
