It's been a wonderful day, I'm feeling Wonderfully Blessed.
It was a Crazy Busy Day.
It started out small, with our usual morning cuddles with cocoa as the sun comes up.
Then we tried to show Sam his present from the Birthday Pig. He was none too festive about it. Didn't want to open it at all. In fact, he threw a nice tantrum and flopped himself on the floor rather than open that present. OK, Welcome to 2.
Then he discovered his new (to him) kitchen, in our kitchen. Oh he loved this. It wasn't wrapped. The accessories were, but he he didn't care to open them. He only wanted to open the doors and push pretend microwave buttons. Totally Stoked.
The boys make breakfast for themselves. ;)
Chris wanted to badly to be helpful, but not to hog the spotlight; there was a treat in it for him if he was Good. So he kept asking if he could "Help Sam Finally, big brother talked us into letting him open one of the kitchen accesories boxes. Sam was thrilled to really get cooking in his kitchen. So thrilled, he had no desire to leave his kitchen until it was time to go to his birthday Party.
This would be the Birthday Boy, sporting his "I'm the Birthday Boy" shirt, and getting a Birthday Party sticker for his party at the Children's Museum.
Look who we bumped into in the library, a sci fi fanatic's dream...Darth Vader! We also saw some other Star Wars characters and even some Star Trek...for the new exhibit on tv show and movie costumes. The kids were so Intrigued, and Mommy wanted to take boatloads of pictures, it took us 15 minutes to cross the lobby.
Sam does a little coloring of his Diego Picture.
Big Brother has to help Sam blow out his Candles.
But Sam only requires a bit of help to eat the yummy cake. ;)
Sam got to sit on the Birthday Throne. He didn't want to let go of 'My Hoop' so we didn't make him. King for the day and all that.
Until he wiped out, fell down and clocked his head. He's been prone to lots of bumping and bruising lately. Then he found comfort in his own new CocoaBear, a koala from his Aunt Amy.
After the party, he had a smidgeon of energy to play in the Diego and Dora Adventure exhibit, which was unofficially the theme of his party.
Since Sam is a big boy, he got to sit at the Big Boy Table, with the big kids (Chris and Emily) at lunch at McDonald's. Such a Big Boy.
After lunch, we went to the Julius's....which is exactly what Sam wanted to do, he asked to "Go to Emmy's (Emily's) house." We were planning it anyway to watch Butler play in the Elite 8, NCAA championship basketball. So it was easy to comply with the wishes of the Birthday Boy. Sam was thrilled to show us his Booga shirt (Bulldogs!) too. He was pulling double duty wearing a Birthday shirt and a Bulldog shirt. He curled up and took a nap, but after waking, and snaking on chocolate, and choking on chocolate, Sam threw up. A Lot. So he had a bath at Mike and Kathleen's, even with hair wash. But he still supported his bulldogs snuggled up in a puppy towel.
Don't know if he forgave me for washing his hair and taking him out of the tub though. But just wait until he realizes tomorrow, that he didn't open all his presents today, and he gets More! We're all feeling pretty Blessed today.
