Do you know how RARE it is to have something on your parents that you can guilt them about? At least around these parts, it’s pretty hard. Mostly because it seems our parents are professionals at making us feel guilty without having any backsplash on them.
BUT NO MORE. Because the next time one of us does something to cause them to try to guilt us, all we’ll have to do is say, “Oh yeah? Remember when you forgot LIAM’S SECOND BIRTHDAY??”
It’s like “Sixteen Candles” all over again. Although, admittedly, it would have been a lot more traumatic for Liam if he had been sixteen years old and not two. As it was, I don’t even think he really understood that it was his birthday yesterday and if he did, exactly what having a birthday entails.
BUT STILL.
What are the chances that BOTH sets of grandparents will forget a birthday at the same time? I feel like it’s the start of some “Twilight Zone” episode or something. We called both sets last night just to make sure someone wasn’t languishing in a hospital somewhere (hey, it’s happened before). And both sets were suitably shamed by their indescretion. No real good excuses, just forgot. AWESOME.
Meanwhile, let’s have a look at some of the pictures from our low-key festivitiies last night. It was just the five of us, and we tried to do all things that Liam enjoyed. We went to dinner at McDonald’s where he scored his very own Happy Meal (but Harry accidentally drank his chocolate milk), came home to open presents and then finished off with cupcakes and ice cream. Liam had a great time. Especially with the ginormous rubber “Go, Diego, Go” ball that “Evie picked out for him”. LAUGHED HIS FOOL HEAD OFF. And he really enjoyed the cupcake (almost didn’t wait to blow out the candles to take a bite) and got a kick out of spooning his own ice cream. Messy? Yes. But worth it.
What are all these toys? For me? NO WAY.
Mmmm… chocolate.
Bad sign: He had the wild look in his eyes BEFORE he ate the cupcake.
We had to actually prevent him from faceplanting in the cupcakes and start monching.
All in all, a good time was had. And today he gets to play with all the toys, so you know, less time spent pestering me! Yay!

This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
