Kathy and Bob and Alyssa and friends helped little Jared celebrate his second birthday on Monday. Jared was so excited! He ran around talking to everyone and showing his toys to them. Bob took him outside and he had fun picking up sticks. Then we gathered in the dining room and sang "Happy Birthday" to him. He needed help in blowing out the candles. Then he opened up all this presents. Jared had a Shrek theme for his birthday and he received lots of Shrek toys. We got him a little book with Shrek's head on the front. And he enjoyed looking at it. We had lots of fun watching little Jared at his party and he came today to play again. Bob watches him on Sunday because Kathy and Alyssa work at the restaurant. We get to see him that day; and it makes our Sundays special. I made a DVD for Bob and Kathy from pictures and movies that Bob burned on a CD. Little Jared watched the DVD and started dancing to Elmo's song, "Hot, Hot, Hot!" He went around so many times that he got dizzy and fell into the coffee table. We felt bad about that; and we will have to watch the furniture when he gets going. Kathy said that he makes himself dizzy now for the fun of it. Jared recuperated after we went outside and he had more room to play!
