On February 13 our Little Man turned 2! I can’t believe it!
It seems too short a time for someone so wonderful to have blessed our lives so
deeply! He is a joy and a constant sores of amusement to everyone he is around.
He is kind and thoughtful and wild and out of control all at once. He FINALLY
is starting to talk in more than single words or grunts… though still most of
the time I have no idea what he’s saying. But his voice is tender and scratchy,
and I love how it sounds and the sweet little way he cocks his head to the side
like a little bird when he asks a question.
On his actual birthday I sadly had an emergency 3 ½ hour surgery
that didn’t end until WELL past bed time. I felt horrible. Like the worst mom
ever. I have to admit I was actually in tears over it (even though I know he won’t
remember me not being there… I will). My sweet husband surprised me and brought
the kids over (and dinner) and all three of them stood outside the operating
window watching, waving and smiling as I, once again tried not to cry.
We ended up celebrating his birthday the next day on Friday
(valentine’s day), which worked out beautifully. Wesley didn’t know the
difference and loved the ice cream cone that he got. Matthew and I ended up
getting him a small little 4-wheeler (that goes all of 2 miles per hour) and he
LOVES it! Though he hasn’t figured out how to steer yet. Hopefully that will
come in the next 14 years or we are all in trouble.
Sunday was his birthday party, it was a Race Car theme and
he was in heaven! There was a huge turn out! I was shocked at the number of
adult friends/family that actually wanted to be there. Thankfully I had made a
pretty big cake and had plenty of snacks. It was a beautiful day and the entire
party was held outside (which I was not counting on but VERY grateful for). He got a ton of cars, trucks and tractors
(though his favorite for the moment is the garbage truck from Papa Klein).
We love you Wesley Robert, happy birthday!

I can't believe it either. Two already. Wasn't he just born? He is sooooo cute. His smile is charming. You are a great mom. Sorry you had to work. I know those feelings of thinking I stink. You made his party though and that's what he will remember if he even remembers anything.
By the way, after studying your picture I have decided to throw my hat in the ring for a girl. I think you are going to push out another sassy Klien girl. I can't wait to find out! You are looking great and sooooo cute. That tummy is perfect. I live it.
You coined Charlotte perfectly. She is so dainty. It's the perfect word to describ her!
You and Matthew are such fantastic parents, the party was fabulous, and that little man is a constant source of joy in my life. You just can't help being happy around him.
