Happy Birthday Marcus, #2!


Happy Birthday Marcus, #2!

Today is Marcus' 2nd birthday. His presents from mum and dad were the easel/chalkboard, bubble bath, books and bath crayons. He loved them all, especially the books. He got an activity centre from his grandparents in New Plymouth in the weekend (he went up to his Aunty's wedding). And he got great toys from friends who came to his birthday party and from Aunties Rhonda and Joyce in Dunedin. He was so excited by Joyce's gift - he loves lego and she sent him some more. When he looked at the box he started yelling "Lego, lego, lego!" and couldn't get it open fast enough!

Ayesha, Toby, Hannah and Jasper came and played with him for his birthday party. They had a ball, eating birthday cake and chips and crackers on a fine sunny wellington day.

It's hard to believe 2 years has passed - every day now really is fantastic!

We know lots of people with kids born around the same time as Marcus. Here we are, at the start of the birthday circuit, for Toby (bottom-right in the photo) and Hannah's 2nd birthday. They're Marcus' friends - he says their names all the time and plays with them nearly every day at the park.

Marcus really is fantastic at the moment. He is very playful, he loves his mum and dad unconditionally, he's starting to talk and says a lot and he's great fun.
