What a weekend! Y’all, I am very happy to report that I made it through my baby’s second birthday with a minimum of hysterics and tears. I can’t believe I have a 2 year old! Stay tuned for my obligatory “Dear Cooper” post.
I took Friday off work so I could clean the house and prep for Coop’s birthday. Let’s deviate from the topic at hand, shall we? Am I the only one who severely underestimates my time? I had plans that I would get the whole house cleaned while C was at daycare and Jason was at work. Instead, I got the downstairs clean. The problem, Jason says, is that I cannot *just* clean. I have to clean.
There is a difference. Instead of simply wiping down the kitchen counters, washing the dishes, sweeping, and mopping I defrost the freezer, organize the pantry, and bleach the grout in the tile. Sigh. I just can’t simply pick up a room. To me, it isn’t clean unless it is clean. Am I the only one? I wish I was different. Cleaning is a lot of extra work and stress for me, as it is not something I really love to do.
Back to Cooper Bear! Here’s the bear in his birthday gear. Can you guess what his birthday theme was? (And again, by theme I mean cake.)
Cooper’s sweater and button down are both from Target. His shoes are New Balance and have Grover on the side. You can find them on Ebay!
The cake is from Sam’s Club. It was super cute, but I heard it was a little dry. I was running around and didn’t get to have any, and for whatever reason I haven’t had any since.
Here we are opening presents! We got Cooper a Schwinn guided tricycle.
Funny fact: my son shares a birthday with three other family members. My dad, my cousin, and my sister-in-law all have birthdays on January 14th.
My immediately family – mom & dad, brother’s family, and my family
All in all it was an amazing day! I can’t believe my baby is 2! Time sure does fly, doesn’t it? (And on a TMI note, guess who went #2 in the potty today? Yay Cooper!)
Please check back tomorrow – 2 On Tuesdays will resume! I’ll have it posted by 9:00 p.m. eastern Monday night.

I'm one of those that will start cleaning one thing and come up with something else that needs to be cleaned or organized in the whole process! Usually I can talk myself into waiting until my big summer cleaning!
C looks so cute in his birthday attire! And that is a cute family picture!
I'll start cleaning a room...get distracted by something in another room, and forget to finish cleaning in the first room. *sigh*
Happy Birthday to the little man! He's growing so big!!
What a loot.. looks like he had a great B-Day!! On a side note, I'd take that Moon sand and hide it or regift it later..lol Don't even open it. Trust me!
Happy Birthday Cooper!
Looks like a fun birthday party!
No, I can just clean the basics. It's doing the deeper stuff that drives me crazy. LOL Thus, I love my housekeepers!
I can never just "clean"...I start and then find more, and more, and more. Then I get entirely pissed off the moment someone drops a crumb in my perfectly clean kitchen. LOL Happy Birthday to your little one!
Girl, I am the QUEEN of underestimating time. It usually takes me a lot longer because I always think to myself, "I have time still so I'll do ...(fill in the blank)..." Before I know it, I only have like 5 minutes left and 50 things to do in those five minutes. lol
Happy Birthday, Cooper!
I can stick to just dust/pickup/vacuum. If i make a to do list it is a bit more specific.
I ADORE his birthday outfit! I have seen NO such sweater at our target!!
