Today we celebrated Julia’s First Birthday Party. Lucas was
super excited; Julia had her first birthday at Lifetime Fitness. It was a great
time. They had games and activities for the kids. Lucas interacted with the
other children but I was still nervous. He hasn’t really been to that many
events where he is around a lot of children. Sometimes he gets a little
defensive. Has anyone else had that problem with their two year old? His nap
was a little bit shorter than normal because we had to get there by 1:00pm.
Landon was Landon being his normal self, needed his attention as he was trying
to talk the whole time. Some people take it as “screaming” LOL. He was a little
bit better once he had his bottle. As the days passed, I saw how much the boys are
the same and how much they are not. Lucas, I noticed today doesn’t need to
constantly have people or kids interacting with him to have fun. At one point
today he was holding a balloon and just laughing and playing with it for about
20 mins straight. Is that bad? I like to think he’s self sufficient. He does
play with kids also; I just noticed sometimes he just goes off in his own
world. I want to think its normal for a 2 year old. Lucas loved the cake and
Ice cream. The party itself was a Hello
Kitie Club theme. The kids liked it. In the beginning Lucas was a little scared
but opened up to him real fast once they played the Theme Song. It was a great
time being with the other kids and being with our family. The only downfall was
that Lucas fell and hit the corner of a chair and had a cut on his forehead. It
really ruined my day. I tried to be calm during the whole ordeal, but definitely
was saddened by it.
After we left Lifetime we stopped at my parent’s house. My
mom wanted to celebrate her Birthday as it is this Monday. The boys were super
excited to see them. My parents help us out a couple days a week with our
children, when Lindsay and I are both at work. I’m extremely thankful and
appreciate everything they have done. As my boys get older, I see more and more
the bond they have with their Grandparents. When we got there the first thing
my mom said was” my gifts finally have arrived” her grandsons. Note: They are
her first grandchildren so that alone my mom can’t get enough of them. We had
some barbeque and had some more cake. This time Lucas only took a couple bites
off the cake as he was still full from earlier. Lucas favorite is his Uncle
Patrick my brother, when we go to my parent’s house he doesn’t leave his side.
If Patrick walks out the room he will cry. It makes me feel good when I see
them bond; we watched the rest of the football game with them. The boys were
pretty tired when we got home. Lucas was quiet the whole ride home. For me it’s
usually an indicator that he is tired when I don’t hear him playing or talking
using the broken words he blurts out. Overall, I feel the day was a success with a couple hiccups.
What a day!
