Wil turned 2 last weekend. Instantly after Evie was born, he morphed from ‘my baby’ to a bona-fide ‘kid’. His 2nd birthday was a wonderful celebration of that. Wil still isnt a big fan of cake, so the night before I made him some m&m chocolate chip cookies. Then I took a shot glass to cut-out individual cookies to make in the shape of a 2:
Im not a very creative/crafty person, but I was happy with how it turned out. The next morning, we skyped with both of the grandparents. We tried to reinforce the idea it was his birthday early in the day – and sang him the birthday song and finally gave him one present. But I’m not sure he finally got it until the afternoon.
After his nap, we had set up his new train set and had all the balloons and presents waiting for him. We sang the birthday song again and made a big deal about the presents. We brought out his cookies and blew out some candles. I’m still not sure he really knew what was going on – but he knew he was having a GREAT day. (Video of cookies to come shortly…)
Birthday aftermath:
Phil and I never actually got Wil anything for his birthday because we had so many packages and presents from family and friends wrapped and ready to go for his big day! We sincerely thank everyone for their thoughtful gifts. Wil truly had a great, great day. Of course the best gifts were the boxes they came in and the decorations! Wil and Phil played with the mylar balloons for days after the birthday!! Wil especially liked ‘throwing’ them up to the ceiling and having daddy lift him up to get them:
Thanks again to everyone who made Wilek’s 2nd birthday a special one!
