We had a fun filled day!  First we went to the doctor&#8217;s office (the picture below is of John and Jenna in the waiting room of the doctor&#8217;s office) to have his 2 year check up (complete with shots&#8211;ow).  After that we decided to go to the mall and try the Kiddie Kandids thing.   They had a big wait, so we had to do some shopping, go have lunch, and then have his picture taken.  John was great all through the mall and we had a fun time&#8211;until we went back to Kiddie Kandids and some strange lady tried to get John to smile.  I got a really great grumpy shot and one serious one.  The smile attempts did NOT work, no matter what the lady says about those being cute smiles.  I know what a cute smile is, and he wasn&#8217;t doing it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, later last night we had his Birthday dinner of hot dogs and macaroni and cheese, then had his &#8220;party&#8221; with presents and cake and ice cream (Thanks, Julene, for decorating the cake!).  His favorite present was undoubtably the three matchbook cars that Julene had on the cake.  He wouldn&#8217;t go to bed without them, and he&#8217;s been playing with them all day so far.  I don&#8217;t know why I bother getting him other toys&#8211;he&#8217;s happy with a couple of little cars (two for each hand, to be more specific).  <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re happy to have such a darling boy in our family, and he had a fun Birthday.
