We celebrated a momentous occasion a couple weeks ago--the big 2 for Braedan. We threw him a Curious George birthday party (he loves the cartoon and books), and he seemed to understand why so many of his friends and family members were there. When asking him how old he is, he enthusiastically replies "Two!" and also holds up two fingers to show you. And he did great when it came time for his big moment of blowing out the candles. I was a little nervous that he might cave under the pressure, but he was ready. A little too ready as Mother Nature kept him waiting since she decided to crank up the wind that day. There was a little trouble keeping the candles lit, but like I said he was more than ready when his moment came. It was so fun watching him enjoy the party that my only regret was that the whole thing flew by way too fast.
Before the party making sure George is ready for the afternoon
He wanted to take a swing at George here instead of using the kid-friendly strings they now have on pinatas. He actually saw the bat on the ground and picked it up himself to take a whack.
Enjoying the party with his friends
I've really embraced the stay-at-home mom thing as I decided to make his cake and the cupcakes from scratch. I thought I would have enough time to have these done and relax but it was way stressful. Next time I might just go easy on myself and order a cake next time.
His big moment
And I think the hubby's tired expression sums up what a long but fun day it was for mom and dad.
