Almost two years old.
This year, we will do a birthday party with friends - since X has friends! I'm so happy to get to know all of these other small people and their moms and dads.
We have been to a few birthday parties in the last couple of weeks. Oddly, a lot of the kids X knows have birthdays near his own. I mention this by way of noting that he knows what a birthday party is now, so he will be excited for his own. And he LOVES birthday cake!
We will keep it simple - just a small party at home, grilling hot dogs and hamburgers and traditional sides. The cake is starting to take shape in my mind. I don't know that I can make a cake myself that will reflect what I hope the decorations will be, so I am guessing we will have to spend to have it made.
The scary part is that this is getting real, really quickly. In 3 weeks I am going to be wishing my baby a happy second birthday. I need to get going on this now!
