Yesterday was Luc's birthday - no longer a baby, he is a big boy - already TWO (DEUX!) years old. We decided not to have a party this year for TWO reasons (see, there's a theme...) 1. If I set about organizing a party, I would almost certainly go into labour 2. Luc would appreciate an afternoon of both parents' full attention, his favorite foods, games and activities much more than a party full of people at his house.
So, that's what we did: He spent the morning at daycare and then Papa & I brought cupcakes and sang "Bonne Fete" (again) while the kids ate cake, then we went outside to play with the trucks in the yard, went on the slide in the playground and played "sploosh" with rocks before going home to "unwrap" a birthday present, eat Luc's favourite foods, eat ice-cream and sing "Happy Birthday" (again and again) play indoor hockey, chase Papa, read stories and have a bubble bath. All in all a great day for Luc! We are enjoying spending these last few days one on one with him before #2 arrives (no, #2 is NOT here yet... did you really think I would be posting this if he were??!)
One funny story: I had made the cakes, food, decorated, bought Luc's birthday present (a truck) so I told Gilbert he was in charge of one thing: wrapping the birthday present. Gilbert decided that instead of wrapping the present, he would just cover it with a blanket and let Luc uncover it. Sigh. The video demonstrates how successful THAT was!!!
