On the morning of his birthday he woke up to a new Thomas the Train set from Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Tom.
Big sister was there every step of the way to help him out!
In true Charlie fashion he discovered it was much more fun to crawl on top of the train table.
The only way I was able to get him up to the table to eat breakfast was to bring the new train with him. In fact he and his Thomas the tank engine were inseparable all day. Thomas came with us on our errands, napped with him and ultimately went to bed with him that night.
We had our family over for a little birthday party that night.
Mamita and Papa Carlos sent him a diablo rojo (red devil) just like the one his daddy used to terrorize the neighborhood on when he was a toddler. He LOVES it!
To protect his little noggin. Carlos has joked about keeping a helmet on the boy at all times. Now that he has a pair of wheels under him I decided it was time.
After a day of excitement, this is how I found my baby. All but falling asleep, but finding just enough energy to play with his train for just a few more minutes. Notice his Thomas the Train jammies.
AND THEN. . .
Abby and I made a pinata. We dug down to our Latin roots and created a great balloon shaped party toy. It was messy and time consuming, and Abby loved it!
It took days for it to dry, but no fear. . . it was ready in time for a get together we had with some friends.
Young and old had a great time taking a whack and our creation.
I think Charlie had more fun helping his dad with the rope.
Then it was time for cake and ice cream again. It just never gets old!
We had a had a great time this week. Thanks to all who have helped us celebrate!

I have to say that I have thought about making a pinata. But maybe I'll do it now. You made it look like so much fun! My baby just turned 2 too! Kind of fun.
Charlie's 2?! They grow so fast don't they?! Fun parties! Love the red devil and the almost sleeping on his new train set. That's hilarious! What a funny kid. Looks like Charlie had a blast.
It's amazing how Thomas can make our children so happy. I had to write Erick's name on his trains because he wanted to take them everywhere and I didn't want to lose them. Looks like Charlie had lots of fun!
You have got a beautiful family!
Thomas the Train is THE best toy around. Hours and hours of entertainment for them, hours and hours of quiet for me.
Happy Birthday Charlie! Love the pinata too! Go Heather!
