Derek turns Two! Or, How the" Thomas The Train" explosion totally made his terrible two's not so terrible.

Recently I lucked out. I was in Seattle and was invited by sis Kellie to attend Nephew Derek's Second B-day Bash. On the right, that's Lauren, who I've known since she and niece Kelcy graduated from the gang taggin creative expression classes held during a certain unfortunate Superbowl Party.

Big fun!



So, for Derek's 2nd birthday he received his very own Thomas the Train Empire.  Complete with extra track, a sister who knows how everything runs, and the little guy was so beside himself with excitment all he managed was an alpha male "Yeah!" when the blanket was pulled off the layout. 


Notice the intense concentration?  Thomas Train switching ain't for novice operators.





Sister Kelcy has her cake. And eats it too.



My sister Kellie. She's the greatest mom. Like ever.



And this is Lauren's mom, Annette. She's also my sis's best friend. BFF love is the best kinda love!
I've recently learned the importance of these distinctions and I won't ever forget these boundaries, definitions, and the divine power of BFF sisterhood.
