Ian turned the big 2.0 today. We began the day the way all good days should begin: by opening presents:

Kyle studied the instructions to learn how to use the toy phone:

We then headed over to Red Robin for lunch, on the theory that any place that provides unlimited french fries would be a big hit with Ian (so long as there’s also ketchup).

After that we went to the DuPage Children’s Museum in Naperville. This place isn’t a museum so much as an insanely fun place for anyone under the age of 10.

Playing in the water table. This occupied both Ian and Kyle for a good hour or so.

This was a joint venture. Daddy baked the cake, Mommy iced it, and Kyle decorated it all by himself.
