Birthday #2
Well birthday #2 has come and gone and we had a ball! Daddy voted for a Backyardigans theme since all we seem to hear these days is, "Pablo! Pablo! Pablo!" However, I hate doing character cakes because I never can get the eyes just right and they always look sort of deranged. So we compromised and did a Backyardigans Pirate cake. They have 2 or three episodes where they pretend to be pirates so it all worked out.
He had the whole gift opening thing down this year and he hardly needed any help at all.
One of his favorite gifts was the firetruck from Aunt Wendy. In fact he liked it so much, we had to hide it to get him to open the rest of his gifts. Had I known that he was going to like it so much, it would have been one of the last gifts he opened. Let that be a lesson parents - try to find out gifts ahead of time. A meltdown in the middle of the gift opening is a real bummer for everyone.
In fact, he liked the firetruck so much, he didn't want to stop playing with it long enough to blow out the candles on the cake. And David had to practically force feed him to a bite of cake. Maybe if I had made it out of peas and carrots he would have liked it more.
