Birthday Dinner

Yesterday was Durkin's 2nd birthday, and like any parent watching their child change on a daily basis, we still marvel at how far he's come in 2 short years. He's so much fun, loves to run, sing and dance. Loves tractors, cars and The Muppet Show. Loves Toy Story and calls Buzz Lightyear 'Budd Lightyear' -- do you see a beer commercial in there somewhere?

Last night I made a special dinner for the birthday boy. Pepperoni pizza, extra olives. This kid hearts olives. When Durkin got home from daycare, I turned on the oven light and asked him, "what's that?" to which he replied, "olives." You gotta love that toddler brain!

Here is the yummy pizza before going into the oven:


Viola! The finished product:

And, while it looks like he's enjoying his pizza, you wanna know what he ate? The olives. And a banana. Yes, folks, this 2-yr-old celebrated his birthday with a feast of banana and olives.

Here is the birthday boy, smiling big for the camera!
