Ash Wednesday Birthday

Solanus turned 2 on Ash Wednesday. It's sort of a difficult day to really celebrate a birthday, but we did it! We sang "Happy Birthday" to him throughout the day. At noon we went to Mass. He received an ash cross on his forehead which he immediately smear and got all over his face, especially in his eyes. So I had to get out a baby wipe and try to clean him up. In the photos you can still see a bit of the black smudge on his forehead. For dinner we had cheese pizza and I turned some Mardi Gras leftover fruity, creamy jello dessert into his cake. And Viola!, we had a two year old birthday celebration. :)
Solanus doesn't say much yet, but we figured he's got the minimal vocabulary for a 2 year old: "No!" and "Mine." Both of which he says with the cutest smile on his face.
