Mason officially entered the "terrible two's" a few weeks ago, although we actually believe his de facto tenure began several months earlier. In an apparent (but not unprecedented) lapse of judgment, we invited about 10 other two-year olds to celebrate Mason's big day at a local children's educational center. The resulting scene can only be described as "total mayhem," but it was fun, in a sort of masochistic way.
Mason and his friends enjoyed making and decorating crowns, and all was going surprisingly well until Mason decided it would be a good idea to squeeze the tube of glue he was holding. As Nicole attempted to take the tube away from Mason, he simply squeezed harder, causing Nicole, Mason and all innocent bystanders to be sprayed with streams of white glue. After cleaning up, Mason sat silently while his friends sang "Happy Birthday" and his birthday cake was placed before him. He was apparently so quiet because he was concentrating so hard on his next task - "Mason blow candles out!" Then came the gift opening, where Mason finally began to show some interest in his gifts for the first time. Each present was opened with a rousing "oooooh" by Mason, before asking for "anoder one? More presents?"
