Crown birthday 2-2-2

Phew, I can't believe that I gave birth to Alexander 2 years ago. It's his crown birthday today, turning 2 on the 02nd day of the 02nd month, so it's actually a triple crown birthday. Felt a bit sad leaving him this morning with Caroline to go to work, but that's life, and luckily he is too young to understand. We did all sing "Happy birthday" to him, and we will go to the spur tonight to open pressies. And then I'm having a little party for him on Saturday at the house.

So, we went to the spur, which he loved. Just us, Papa Joe, Gogo Dawn, Linda and Jonathan. He opened his pressies. I had bought him a little boy doll called Edwin that he loved and kissed all night. He got some more duplo from us and a cd and book (which was actually for Thomas) and some beach toys. We came home and he had no problem going to bed. Still can't get over he is 2 years old already!

For his party on the Saturday the 07th Feb, we had about 10 kids and 10 adults more or less over for his "bug" party. I got some fishing nets from proto trading and put sweeties and goodies in them and those were the party packs that they got at the beginning of the party. They could then fish sealed bug sweets out the small pool. It was so hot, 35 degrees, so all the kids ended up in the pool. Surprised there was even any water left in the pool with so many people in it at once, but at least the kids were cool and had a great time which was the most important thing. The party was from 14h00 till 16h00. Adrian, Katja, Lexi and Kayla stayed a bit longer for a glass of wine or 2. Christy, Phil and Aidan stayed on for a braai. Was such a lovely hot evening, sat outside all night. Alexander got spoilt again. He got the cutest little tricycle from mormor.
