Michael turns two

Posted by: blissfule In: Perth ()

Our big guy enjoyed an exuberant day celebrating his birth!

He opened cards and gifts, devoured sausage, mash and peas, and topped the day with cake.

We simplify cake selection by asking our children to choose a cake colour and a colour for the decoration on top. Michael chose white cake with blue topping. Capitalizing on his love of fruit, I baked a blueberry sponge cake.

Although not quite cooked in the center, Michael's enthusiastic endorsement was all that mattered to me!

Happy Birthday, Michael!! Two is a very exciting and fun age. A couple of tips from Ian: Say “No thank you, Mommy. I don’t like that” often, even if you really do like it. It’s really fun to see Mommy’s reaction. And when Mommy or Daddy ask you to do something, do the exact opposite – just to see what they’ll do. Sometimes this trick doesn’t work out very well, I’ll warn you, but it keeps things interesting.
