the little man’s birthday cake

As promised here are pictures of the little man’s cake and him digging in. His Aunt gave him forks so he can do whatever he wanted and sure enough he made quite a mess. I had to clean up or icing and cake would have been everywhere. He didn’t taste the cake nor the icing. He just plowed the cake and the adults had to save what they can to eat. It was chaos but it was also fun. He had a great time. We were right in making the decision to have his birthday with the rest of the family. It may be a little late but I still want to say it, Happy birthday gorgeous!

PS The first picture is off-centered because I don’t know how to do it right :D

birthday boy

We went to visit the husband’s family up in Indiana. The little man spent his birthday with the rest of the relatives and he had a good time playing with his cousins. He got a new bicycle from his aunt. And she also got a birthday cake for him which I will try to post a picture when we get home. We had a good time visiting relatives and just relaxing. We have to cut our trip short though because the husband is needed at work. I will try post some pictures when I get the chance.

desktop computer

The little man has a new toy. The desktop computer we ordered for him got here yesterday. It is for kids 3 years and up but the husband wanted his son to have his toy computer so he will not play with ours. He played with it for a while but decided that he like the real thing better. I told the husband this will happen but he didn’t believe me until last night. After playing with the toy for a few minutes he picked it up and threw it in the kitchen floor. He then went straight for my laptop. Thankfully the toy seemed to be durable since it still worked this morning. I hope he will come to like this new toy because there are a lot of games in it he can enjoy. I know because the husband and I tried it last night :D

one, tso, twee

Before he goes to bed at night, the little man never fails to practice his counting skills. Sometimes I join him, with us saying the numbers alternately. The husband just listens and laughs at us. Sometimes he also joins when the little man recites the letters of the alphabet. It is a night time routine for us. Instead of reading a book, we do the alphabet and numbers one to ten. He still has a hard time saying the seven but, hey, he is only a few days shy to his second birthday. It may not sound like a big accomplishment to some but it is to us. We are proud parents, can’t you tell? :D

am i depressed?

The husband thinks I am depressed. For real! He doesn’t seem to believe me when I said I am not. I am telling the truth, I am not depressed. I do feel down from time to time for things happening that I don’t have control over but that is nothing major. He thinks I am severely down that he is scouring the internet for motels in Myrtle Beach so we can get away for the weekend. When he couldn’t find anything specific he said we will just drive down there and find us a place to stay. It is off season right now so there will surely be a lot of motels with vacancy. I have told him I am fine but I think he believes otherwise. Now what do I do but go with him to cure this supposed depression that plagues me. He is such a worrywart that even if there is nothing to worry about he does. I guess I will have to get ready for the weekend. There are a lot of things to do and places to eat in there. I just love visiting that place.

This morning right after I finished fixing his lunch I sat down in front of the computer to check my emails and there he was again asking me if I was fine. When I said yes, he looked at me hard and said I should be more energetic. Now, I am not a morning person. I hate waking up early. I want to laze in bed until I am ready to get up but I have obligations to my husband and I do have a little man here who wakes up at the crack of dawn reciting his ABC’s. Being energetic in the morning is not my thing and he knows it. I don’t know what’s up with him.
