Well Tom is two now and celebrations were held over the weekend. Tom had a great party with all his favourite friends visiting and lots of fun games to play. There was 'kick ball' in the back yard, a dinosaur egg hunt (easter egg hang over!), pin the tail on the dinosaur, and paper plane fun. And just the simple fact of playing with 6 other kids for a couple of hours is heaven on a stick for a 2 y.o.
Due to my 'condition', we just had a small party with four of our friends and their kids, over for the afternoon. The weather had been showery in the morning but thank goodness the sun came out later on so we could let the kids run wild in the back yard and eat cake. It was a lot of fun, especially as the Dad's were the flavour of the day, so the mums actually got to sit down for some of the time and relax!
We are having another cake at Playgroup on Friday just as another little celebration with his playgroup friends but that will be very low key and I won't have any mess to clean up - phew. This is a boy who loves being sung Happy Birthday to, so the fact that Friday will be his third time he's had it sung to him, will make for a very happy boy. You can just see in the glint in his eye and the look on his face that he feels very special that everyone is singing to him. He's so spoilt!
Can you believe I'm currently learning a lesson from Finley the Firetruck (kids show for about 3 y.olds) about not being scared and being able to do anything you want. (....in the spirit of The Littlest Engine!) It's ridiculous where I get my inspiration from these days - ahhhhhh.
Go with the flow and thank your lucky stars.
