I have to laugh as I write this blog because today we celebrated Jack's 2nd birthday at the plateau (park) with some of our kids. We picked the Thomas the tank engine theme since Jack loves trains and there is a Thomas train at the park in TM that you can ride, of all places! We spent all week trying to figure out how to build a Thomas cake big enough to feed everyone, pick a time and date that would work for kids' schedules and not rain....in the end, we ended up baking 50+ cupcakes, moving the date and time the day of, and it rained 20 minutes into the party! But all was well because all Jack really cared about was going to his party and eating cupcakes...2 to be exact! He didn't want to open gifts. He didn't mind the huge storm and winds blowing dirt everywhere. He didn't mind the many Romanians fleeing the park as the storm came. He didn't mind that he didn't get to run around and play. He didn't mind that we didn't ride the train...and he didn't mind the heavy rain...all he wanted was to eat his 2 cupcakes! After we ran from the park we went back to the houses to play games and sing songs. It was a wonderful, rainy night that I will always treasure. I am thankful to Aunt Sarah and Aunt Bex for helping up pull all of it off...even the 22 minute 2nd birthday party!
Yeah! I am 2!
