Simon celebrated his second birthday on Friday. If he was older, he might have been slightly confused by going to a mums-and-toddlers Christmas celebration and being given a present by Father Christmas on his birthday, but at this age he takes it all in his stride! And just seemed slightly perplexed by having about 50 people sing "Happy Birthday" to him while onstage dressed as a shepherd!
He took a while to get warmed up to unwrapping presents in the morning. I was beginning to wonder whether they'd all end up waiting until Christmas (!) but with some help and encouragement he eventually got on with it and loved his new toys.
On Saturday we had a small party for him. Just two other children were able to come, but since Simon still doesn't like crowds of other kids it was probably just the right size for him. He got on very well with the little girl who came, who is a few days older than him. He led her by the hand into the room where we had lunch, and pushed her around on his pushalong Thomas afterwards. They also had lots of cuddles - very cute!
I made a Thomas the Tank Engine birthday cake, which I was very proud of!
