Two
On November 12, 2007, after his mother pushed for two hours and totaled her downtown, Baby Troy gang busted onto the scene.
On November 12, 2009, Baby Troy turned two. He celebrated by going back to very hospital where he was born with a dislocated elbow courtesy of his sister. It was an accident, she was giving him a piggy back ride. By his arm.
After waiting with 34 people who probably all had swine flu, screaming through x-rays and Jeff and I being interviewed by five separate people regarding “the incident”, Mr. Toasty’s arm was popped back into place and he was good as new.
We finally made it home and dined on Troy’s birthday dinner that he selected, lasagna that he calls pizza. Disregard that it was TEN O’CLOCK AT NIGHT.
Before the trauma, we took a trip to the bakery and let Troy choose a dessert. Being the refined toddler that he is, he chose a hazelnut croquant. Since his arm was working properly again, we decided to celebrate.
We stuck a candle in that bad boy and let him make a wish.
Please accept our apology and we can only hope that you don’t remember we can move past the pain.

Poor Mr. Man. Poor Zoe. I remember the one time I slapped my brother HARD on the back. There was a moment when life stopped, and then he started laughing and I started crying. Ah, siblings.
Marissa
Ayuh…making memories. He'll be fine; you sober yet?
Jules
I agree with Susannah. Poor Troy, poor Zoe. I, too, remember the way the world stops when you hurt your little brother (with and without intent) just a bit too much. But, hey, memories, right?
Aunt Becky

I spit out my coffee when I read that Mr. Toasty "totaled" your "downtown." OMG, that was awesome.
Heather of the EO
OH NO. Well, Happy Birthday little guy! Here's to another year (with no dislocations)

Poor kid. He's got the same worried look 2 years later.

And did you in turn quiz your daughter about "the incident"??
A "piggy back ride"?? Hmmmmm???? Sure…I give my kids "piggy back rides" alllll the time.
Love the photos, and the captions are hilarious! Glad little mister is okay!

Happy late birthday, Baby T!
By the way, Z, your hubs is HAWT.
I am Trish Marie
Tell Baby Troy to suck it up. Everyone knows you haven't lived until your sister has dislocated your elbow once or twice…or in Emmi's case, "helped her jump" off a windowseat resulting in eight stitches.

If Troy keeps acting all weak sauce, he'll keep getting beat. There's nothing wrong with hitting a girl.*
*Please don't send me hate mail. This is sarcasm.
