John is Two: 8

It's Party Time!!!

Of course, there was a party. And what a party it was. It was held at the Riverdale Community House, the same place as last year's party. But what a change.

Last year there was this little boy, just learning to crawl who stayed pretty much where he was placed, unless someone helped him move. His family, in this case his Aunt Jackie, had to get down on his level.

But, this year it was different as everyone, including his other grandfather, Neena, had to move just to keep up with him!
And this year, instead of staying in his mother's arms during the whole "cake and song" routine, he sat right there and took it all in. He even seemed to join in singing his own birthday song. The only problem was, once the candle was blown out, someone forgot to clue him into the fact that the cake (an ice cream cake) would be taken away and cut up and served. That upset him no end! But at last he was consoled.


And so he settled down and joined everyone else as they ate their treat.












And once the eating was over, back to playing, this time with bubbles with his friend Max. And yes, he did catch a few, even if they did disappear.

To see more pictures, got to John's Blog.




When it was all over, we returned home and I got this shot of him talking with his Mommy about everything that he had done at his party! Except for the fact that it was washed out by the flash, I think it is one of the best of the two of them I have taken.

And of course, once we got home there were presents to open, including his favorite, a new "truck" complete with a West Virginia-type song. That was his favorite.











All in all, it was a fun, exciting and busy day.
