Birthday Party

This past Saturday, we had Alexander's 2nd Birthday Party. It was so great having so many of our family and friends at our home to celebrate. As most people know, Alexander's favorite thing is Mickey Mouse (or Hot Dog as he would say). A little more on the Hot Dog name, the new cartoon has a song they sing at the end of every episode called the Hot Dog Dance. Therefore, Mickey Mouse in our house is called "Hot Dog!" Since, Mickey is his favorite we naturally had a Mickey Mouse party for him. We kept him in his room as we decorated, and when we brought him out he got a huge smile on his face and said "HOT DOG, HOT DOG, HOT DOG!" We were so excited that we could make him that happy with party decorations! He did get a little overwhelmed with all the people that were there, but I think after about half an hour he started to enjoy all the attention. He sat up in his highchair the whole time he opened his presents, and he LOVED every single present he got. Thank you to everyone for all the generous gifts! He liked the singing and the candles on the cake, but once again he did NOT eat any of his cake! And he loves cake. I think he just does that because he knows it gets to me! I like to get him his own little cake so he can just dig into it, and just like last year he did not want to eat even a little bite. We know he had a GREAT time, and enjoyed seeing all of his family and friends.
