It's tough growing up.
Sometimes, when we get older, we don't have time for the things we used to like doing so much. Take my blog for instance. I've really been neglecting it lately. Before I could walk, it seemed like the natural thing to do; tell everyone about my life from behind the keyboard. However, now that I can walk (who am I kidding, I only run when I'm on the move) sitting behind the boring keyboard seems so blase (how the heck do you do that little ' over the e?)
You folks that spend all day blogging and commenting on ActiveRain..........do me a favor. STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD and get out and exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. I promise you'll feel so much better about yourself. I just go outside and run around in circles sometimes. I do it until I get dizzy........then I just fall down. What do I care, I'm two.........I suppose if you did that you would probably look pretty foolish. You're probably old like my dad. When he does it, it's pretty funny though. I don't think he looks foolish, and who really cares what those other people think. You know, the ones who never have any fun. You can have those people. I'll take my dad.
Being two is pretty cool. This crazy brain of mine is on overdrive (wait does a brain go 'on overdrive' or does it get 'in overdrive'....arrrgg, so many questions). I hear hundreds of new words every day. Do you know how hard it is to keep up? No wonder some kids get ADD. It's a lot of stuff to keep up with. Words, letters, numbers, girls........oh wait, errr......nevermind.
Alright, alright, you could probably care less about what I have to say. You probably just want to see my pictures from my birthday.
In my defense, that Rat is pretty scary up close. Have you ever seen a 6'2" Rat????? Where the heck do they grow these things? I know we don't have sewers this big here. They must have flown this thing in from Mexico City. Seriously, whose bright idea was it to put a ton of REALLY cool toys and video games in a huge room, get kids all relaxed and having fun.....THEN RUSH OUT A HUGE RAT?????? That's insane! It make absolutely no sense whatsoever. If you try to defend it as "cute" or "adorable" I'll know you are out of your freaking mind as well. So don't even try it nut job!
Sorry, I'm rambling (I'm telling you, it's hard to get everything out in a coherent fashion when you are two).........ok, here is the evidence pictures.

Check out my bad*ss bike (I could be in trouble for typing that word, please don't tell dad). Yeah those are training wheels, so what?

yeah, so here is where they sneak in the Rat. can you tell I was caught off guard? Look, I don't care if you are a Rat. Not everyone can be as cute as I am. But if you are going to be a Rat, don't go sneaking up on two year olds who are hanging out with their friends having a good time. It's just not right Chuck!

Peace? Peace? Are you serious???? I'll knock those two buck teeth out of your mouth if you don't back the heck up Chuck!! I told you, it's just not cool sneaking up on a guy when he's trying to eat pizza. I promise you don't want anything to do with this left hook Chuck, you just don't!

OK, now we are having some fun. Look Chuck, all I needed was for you to back up off a kid. Sneaking in and getting all up in my face....not cool!!. Now that we have an understanding I think we can finally get this party started!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I implore you; if you are going to take your kid to Chuck E. Cheese please give them a heads up about what to expect. To bring them in and lull them into a false sense of safety with video games, pizza, rides and toys and then spring a HUGE sewer Rat on them with little or no warning is just not right. I hold my Dad responsible although I know he had at least one beautiful accomplice. Don't worry guys, I'll get you back.....just wait!

oh yeah, don't be jealous.....I'm the first ActiveRain Ambassador! BOO YA GRANDMA!! hahaha
Hahahahah! Oh I feel sorry for Kelan. Chuckie Cheese is scary to the little ones :-)
Happy Birthday Kelan, and next year perhaps your Daddy won't torture you by taking you to see big furry creatures 10 times your size!
We missed you Kelan! Looks like you had a grand birthday party indeed. Now tell your dad to step away from the keyboard lol.
Kelan baby, Your daddy and I are so sorry for springing the rat on you. I'll let you wear that really cool helment you got ANYWHERE you want to go to make it up to you. ( Daddy will LOVE that )
So you were behind it too Christa! lol. Hey Kelan..you look all brave (just a little surprised) anyway :)
Morning Kelan, I'm right there with ya bud. Those rats scare me and I'm a bit taller than you! Cool hat Kelan, just remember this for later on...chicks like guys in cool hats. Hope your B-Day was great :)
Wow Kelan you're a big boy now, 2 years old :) I think you should take them up on letting you were your cool hat ANYWHERE :) Yea, make them pay for bringing a rat to your party :) Or ya know what....you can get Dad back by bringing a Rat to his wedding LOL......that'll get him back, and we can all laugh at his surprised face LMAO (oops....you probably shouldn't have the A part in that...so LOL will be better)...go get them Tiger, and Happy Birthday!
Hi Kelan, I can't believe you are 2 already. You know that rats are scared of cats? So next time you go to Chuck's make your dad wear a big cat costume for the night - I will even pay for it. Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday Kelan! Looks like you had a Marvelous birthday! Hope you have at least 100 more.. thank you for sharing with us!
Happy Birthday Kelan.
THat's not funny with the rat. My son Gavin just turned 2 as well... He got to go watch fireworks - make your dad do that for you next time - k?
Oh, yeah, apprantly girls dig guys who like fireworks too...
Opps, I have to go play outside now, see ya later.
We have similar pictures of our daughter's 3rd birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. It was awesome - glad to see that your family had fun as well. Congrats on the Ambassador Program -we are participating as well :)
You must have great parents. Not only did they take you to see a rat they ate the Pizza.
You've god some great blogging skills buddy...maybe I need to get some lessons from the two year old!!
Kelan,
Remember last year...you got to eat the cake on the lake...then your Dad took you into the lake to clean off the cake?
What is better...I'm sure some fun at Chuck E Cheese. My kids used to love that place...
You look great on your bike with all that special gear...
Happy Birthday, now go drive your Dad crazy...after all you only live once! Have a blast! ((huggs))
happy birthday you little cutie
!
Thank you for the reason to smile, Life was hard as a 2 year old but birthdays were more fun back then and I remember looking forward to them too, which I don't any more. Maybe as we get older we just learn too survive birthdays.
Thank you
Seriously awesome! and great new profile picture, too!
This is too Hysterical Kelan !!!!!
My little guy had excactly the same first experience with Chuck E !!!!!
...he snuck up on my little boy who proceeded to jump out of his skin too !!!!!
PS: ...I LOVE the New Wheels you got for the summer, and good to see you wearing your elbow pads and helmet !!!
Cheers Kelan !!!!!!!
Sheldon :o)
That rat would scare anyone -- even old people -- so don't worry about getting a bit freaked out.
Kelan...
Rats don't do much for me either. Maybe I should be the one who teaches you how to deal with them :)
Before I leave you with that thought, have you told your Dad about Jordynne Raine yet? She keeps telling me how cute you are. A young man like yourself should have choices.
She asked me not to tell you that she got caught using magic markers as make up. Everyone knows, TLW can not be trusted with that kind of info :)
TLW...ROAR!
