With the preparations and decorations all done, we were ready for a party! So was Joshua. With a slew of other birthdays having happened earlier in April, Joshua was very familiar with the idea of birthdays and even the birthday song, and he had concluded that it was his turn now — thankfully it was!
At breakfast on the morning of his party, we sang Happy Birthday to him as part of breakfast, and once the song was done he informed us that he wanted cake! He’s a smart little guy to have figured out that this is how it’s supposed to work. He did have to wait until the afternoon, but then when the party was underway, he finally got in on the candle and cake and thoroughly enjoyed himself!
Joshua and the guests seemed to enjoy themselves with the food and festivities that Kristen had planned.
Joshua got “into” it too with the “Toss the Coal in the Hole” game.
In some of the prior parties, not “helping” other people open their presents was a little bit of a struggle for Joshua. Now at his own party with his own presents, he got right down to it and thoroughly enjoyed himself!
Happy “Two” Birthday, little buddy!
