How Do You Know Your Parents Love You (A Little Way Too Much)?
How Do You Know Your Parents Love You (A Little Way Too Much)? The fact that your parents celebrated your 2nd birthday with a 3 day celebration! Call it crazy! Call it overboard! Call it whatever you'd like but that's exactly what Mummy & Daddy did for Erik!! Our boy is definitely spoiled.
Like any good Bollywood celebration or Hollywood celebrity birthday, we went all out and crazy. Reason, Mummy & Daddy were just super excited to celebrate Erik's birthday and so were the ever indulging Grandpa Tom and Grandma Katy!!
Celebration Day 1
Daddy & Mummy had been planning for weeks, if not months, in advance of how to celebrate a special day. A day when we became a family! A family of 3! A day when we realized everything else in the world is insignificant except the time that we have with each other! So for the day prior to Erik's actual birthday, Daddy & Mummy sponsored the local Zoo to come on out to Erik's school for a pre-school animal introduction program!
Mummy & Daddy invited two classes between the ages 2 - 3 plus a handful in the Toddler class (just barely under 2). It was an audience of 28 children plus 5 teachers and of course, our family including Grandpa Tom & Grandma Katy. Erik was so super excited about his "birthday celebration" that our little guy woke up at exactly 5:00am!! He started singing "Happy Birthday" to Erik all morning long as he got ready for his 'big celebration'.
By the time we went to school and the Zoo Mobile came in the morning, Erik was super tired! Poor thing! He sat on Mummy's lap during the whole zoo program but he still got to enjoy it with all of his classmates! Our little Boo Boo got to see 2 whistling ducks (they do not quack but go Beee! Beeee! Beee!), got to see an African hedgehog (which he actually touched before during many Daddy & Son Zoo outings), a Blue-Tongued Lizard, and a s-l-o-w Box Turtle! The 20-minute program went by really fast and it was filled with laughter and giggles from all the children.
After the program, it was off to the school patio for a cupcake & juice celebration with 3 classes (Two 2-3 year olds plus Toddler Class), rounding the children to be about 42 plus 8+ teachers and school Director! Thanks to Grandpa Tom's homemade cupcakes (he's the baker in the family), the children devour cupcake like no tomorrow. Of course, all the frosting that was put on it...was scraped off! For some reason, the teachers believed sugars make children hyper?! Hmmmm! Isn't that a myth?
Erik ate about 1/2 of a cupcake and by that time, he was super tired and grouchy. Meltdown time...so we ended his school day early so he can just rest up with Grandpa and Grandma at home instead! Whooo! Day 1 Celebration was HARD stuff for a 2 year old!
