Joshua is now 2!

My yummy baby is growing up. Joshua turned 2 yesterday. He really looks like a boy now, no longer a baby.

I am still in denial over that. I looove the baby age, when you can basically smother your kids with kisses and hugs without them minding it. Now as they grow older, they still love to get kisses and hugs, but they can't wait till you let go so they can move to their next adventure.

Anyway, Joshua had a grand time today, yikes yesterday. Tatu and I took the boys to the planetarium, and then Joshua played for a while at Borders while waiting for Jacob, and then we were off to Toys'R'Us to pick up gifts for both of them. The whole family then had dinner at Mars 2112, a space-themed restaurant in Times Square. The kids had a blast in the restaurant soaking up all the planetary sights and creatures, although both of them refused to go in the "spaceship". And of course, they didn't want to leave in the end.

Joshua will have his birthday party on the 28th, although unfortunately we have to move his party to our house, instead of our fave playground at Central Park. Most of the kids we invited are away for the weekend, since most families have taken next week off for the 4th of July holiday. But I am sure it will still be a fun, albeit intimate party.
