We had another birthday around here. This time it was Mr R's big day.
You only turn 2 years old once and Mr R was in great 2 year old form.
He saw the balloons we had ready for the party and he wanted one RIGHT NOW like most 2 year olds would. ; )
He was fine once we brought out the cake. See the smile on his face? We tried to do the candles outside but the breeze was too strong and kept blowing out the candles before R could try to blow them out.
When we moved inside and got the candles lit he wouldn't try to blow them out. When we had told him in English and Tagalog to blow them out he told us "no". He just wanted to watch them burn. Finally his friend, Mr D, helped him blow out one candle.
After D blew out the first one R did try once to blow out the second one...
...but was not successful so D did the honors again. Mr R was happy to watch it go out and clapped for D.
As soon as he stopped clapping he took both hands and grabbed the cake. He seemed rather confused when we made him take his hands off.
"It's my cake isn't it?"
Hand print
"Yummy"
It was finally time for balloons and as you can see, Mr R was over joyed.
But once he got his balloon he seemed more concerned with the balloons everyone else had
and didn't play with his much except to hold it.
See the concern on his face?
The older kids had no concern at all but
J here was looking a bit blue.
The babies got to come down for the party and Buster wouldn't stay where he was suppose to,
so he got strapped into the highchair. He wasn't too keen on his imprisonment.
"If I give you the puppy dog eyes will you let me down?"

Mr P
This kid LOVES to have his picture taken. Can you tell?
Mr F
(I just asked what this hand sign means,
because the boys do it all the time, and I was told it means 'handsome'.)

Baby J was excited to hear it was time for R to open his present.
Mr R wasn't sure what to do with it at first...
...but he figured it out with a little help.
The funny thing was once he showed it to the kids he threw it at them and played with the paper.
; p
Silly boy.
Baby L enjoyed the excitement.
See?
Buster got his cake but still wasn't thrilled because he was still in the highchair while everyone else was on the floor having fun.
Little Miss S wasn't sure what was so fun.
Baby M was happy.
Little Miss L, did you grow overnight? You seem to be too big for the stroller.
Baby J must have grown too!
Little Miss S still isn't sure what is going on.
HaPpY bIrThDaY
Mr R!!!!
