For His Birthday, He Wants A Blacklight
My mother-in-law bought Troy a backpack. Because all 23 month old boys need a backpack with a teddy bear strapped to it. Troy LOVES it, he puts it on, stands at the door and yells “CEWWLLL!” which sounds like cool, but he yelling about SCHOOL since his sister goes to school wearing a backpack. Jeff is not a fan of the baby bear backpack and said it looks like Troy is going to a rave.
I think he’s just taking care of business. I did check the backpack for glow sticks and Ecstasy, you never know with kids these days.
Seems like we’re in the clear. He wasn’t holding, just some cars, blocks and a Strawberry Shortcake doll.
Don’t tell Jeff, but Troy loves that Strawberry Shortcake doll. He likes to smell it.
I am obviously an enabler. Can you blame me? Look at this sweet baby, who turns TWO this week.
Not that I want to talk about it. La, la, la,la, I can’t hear you. *puts fingers in ears*

Time to start working on a new baby, this one's old.

There's a twelve step program for people addicted to sniffing dolls.
Also, did you remember to look in the trunk of those cars? Because he could have hid his ketamine in there.
Happy birthday little T. You'll be driving in no time.

Perfect description karey m.
So, what's that doll spiked with?

It's just a matter of time until he starts with the guy liner.

Definitely the cutest thing I've seen all day. (And I still like smelling Strawberry Shortcake dolls.)

I like smelling those fruit scented markers…what are they called again? Don't show Troy those, or he'll be walking around with a pen stained nose!
PS.I heart his boots.

When we lived in Hawaii I used to sneak my Strawberry Shortcake doll into the car with us when we ran errands. I would slip her onto the back shelf of the car while we went inside and she would bake, bake, bake in the sun. When we came back to the car my mom would gag and scold me not to be careless with my toys like that. I never listened. I was too busy sniffing in the heaveness that was eau de Shortcake. Happy birthday Mr Toasty!

Once upon at a rave in 1992 I dressed up as Strawberry Shortcake. True story.

Decidedly adorable.

The kid is simply ADORABLE! BTW, when I first glanced at your post, I thought is said Troy wanted a BLACK LIGHT! I was imagining you buying him a velvet, dayglow Jesus poster to go with it…
Martinis or Diaper Genies?
I think I'm not up on my rave etiquette but ravers wear backpacks with bears on them? Regardless, I do like that he enjoys red heads.

Awwwwwww, that is precious. My little dude reached for a doll the other day at Target and the hubs put the kabosh on it. Men.
