We chose the Curious George theme for many reasons. They would include the fact that Kieran is a monkey and crawls on top of everything. Secondly he is obsessed with "nanas". He is also a very curious little boy and he enjoys the cartoon as well and asks for Curious George when we turn on a the t.v. although it sounds like Cerah Joge:)
It was a relaxed morning. My Mom, Stepdad, Dad, Lynn, us, and Lynda and Gina came. It was great for the kids to see Lynda again. They missed her very much!
Kieran got into opening his presents a little bit and would open them on the floor and then bring them over to someone else to open in front of them.
Monkey shot!
Svea helped him a little bit...maybe a little too much with the actual ripping off of the paper, but overall she was really good about the day being about him.
He got a Monkey kite, which we haven't been able to fly yet. It hasn't been crazy windy yet, which I should not have even brought up since now it will and I've jinxed us:)
Showing off!
I think he liked the attention a little bit. It was just so much fun to just sit back and watch him interact.
At one point he took his Hippo toy that he got from my Dad and Lynn and wrapped it up in tissue paper and brought it to my Dad. I think he wanted them to join in the fun too!
We gave him a pirate ship. Svea has been enjoying it more than he has, but eventually maybe he will show more interest. I think it's my favorite toy right now to play with her:)
He got a wagon from Gaga and Grandpa. He loves to be pulled in it or pack things into it and pull them around the room.
He was excited about his cake! So much so that he....
...grabbed the Curious George car off the cake and started licking the wheels. We all laughed, but then laughed harder when he had a lick and then stuffed it back down into the cake so he could get more frosting:)
Dad brought him home a monkey balloon! He ran in circles with this balloon until he'd get so dizzy he'd fall down and laugh...and then do it again. Dad's are such suckers:) He and Svea went to the party store to get "a" yellow balloon and he comes back with this:) Kinda cute too!
It was a low key event, but a wonderful 2nd birthday party! He slept well after that. I've figured out that mid-morning is the best time for a birthday party. No more waiting until they wake up from a nap hoping they get a good one. Happy Birthday Baby Boy! Wow! You are two and it's hard to believe. Being in the hospital with you as a newborn seems like just months ago. We LOVe you sweet boy!
