Toddler Tribulations

We had David’s first birthday party on Saturday, April 4. I think things turned out pretty good. He had his first real cake with icing. He had a ball with his presents and all the balloons. He’s still not too sure about the jump house. He’ll get in it, but David or I have to be close enough for him to touch. And he slides out of it head first so we have to be there to catch him. I think his favorite toys were the blocks, the Lightning McQueen futon, and the Lightning McQueen car. He plays with the blocks quite a bit and they will keep him entertained for a good 20-30 minutes at a time. David likes crawling all over the futon, especially when he’s tired. He won’t just lay down and go to sleep, but he’ll flop down on it and lay there for a minute and then jerk his head up and grin at us. He knows that it folds up somehow, but he hasn’t quite figured out how to do it himself. The other favorite toy is the Lightning McQueen ride on car. It has lots of lights and makes lots of noise and there is no off switch that I can find (thanks Debbie!). He can get on it all by himself, but getting off is a little trickier. He kind of tumps it over and slithers off of it, but he’s getting there.
