We celebrated Clement turning two in Bedford with my family the weekend of the 19th, a joint party with Janell, who was turning 31.
Like my aunt said, it's more fun this way-- sort of like Christmas!
And Janell's enthusiasm was certainly contagious, which was good because Clement ended up rather wiped out for the day, with a fever of 101.7 and next to zero interest in anything we tried to feed him or give him! :(
The above pictures are some of his only happy moments from the morning, when we were still trying to keep some momentum to his half of the party.
But he pretty much looked like this the rest of the time, sadly, so we ended up relenting (no forced celebrating!) and put him down for a nap...

 |
| Birthdays: that time of year when adults insist on setting your food on fire and singing about it. Please people, someone just give me some Tylenol. |
 |
| He didn't want a slice, he wanted the whole container, and to eat it with his straw. And when that didn't work, he wanted a nap and PLEASE SOME TYLENOL. |
 |
| Clement on Tylenol, post nap. Doing MUCH better. |
The rest of the day was pretty hunky dory from there on out...
 |
| Josephine's first use of a power tool! She did excellent, especially considering the hefty battery pack. |
 |
| you know it's been a good party when... |
Happy Birthday to Janell and Clement!!
