To celebrate with him, I had taken the day off. In the morning, after planting loads of kisses to Bobby boy, and after he had played at home with his Papa; he and I left to meet Bobby's Godfather Keith. We had breakfast together and then went to Playstreet museum. This was a place for little kids to play with blocks, tubes, mini shopping carts and cash registers. There were all kinds of fun things. Bobby played with all kinds of things. He watched other kids as they played. He insisted of returning cars to other kids' mom's. Then ended up finally fixating on cars, trucks, school bus. And then there was dump truck, his favorite. After playing for quite some time, it was time to head home. It had been a fun, fun time!
At home, Bobby boy ate some chicken nuggets and soon headed for his nap. Soon little miss Haana will return from school. She and I had work to do. Our plan was to make a 3 tiered chocolate cake for cake cutting that evening. Somewhere in there we managed to have a quick fight and then make up as well.
In the evening, we had some company. None of the grandparents had seen Bobby boy since he was born. All due to covid. But now, on his 2nd birthday, both sides of grand parents had travelled from India to celebrate with him. In the evening we had Tata, Pati (paternal grand parents), Nana, Nani (maternal grandparents), Kirthi aunty, Karthik uncle and Varam, and Jinu aunty, all together to celebrate Bobby. Bobby boy was delighted to be the center of attraction and to play. After cake cutting, we had cake and ice cream. Bobby boy picked out and stole chocolate chips from the chocolate cake, and stuffed them in his mouth. He wasn't fooling anyone though, cause soon his whole mouth was brown!
We played games and ate. And soon it was time to call it a night.
The celebration for Bobby's 2nd birthday continued though. Little miss Haana and I had invited few of her friends over to celebrate Bobby's birthday in the park on the coming weekend. We decided we will bake and decorate our own cupcakes for the party.
It was a beautiful sunny, spring morning. I had fresh cooked muffins on the trays, ready to be decorated. Little miss Haana, Nani (grandma) and I got busy icing the cupcakes. Little miss Haana, who knew her baking thanks to cooking shows and a summer spent in numerous baking adventures, showed Nani and me how its done! Three generations working on cupcakes!
When we got to the park, we hung up the baby shark pinata, put up other baby shark decoration on the picnic tables, and set up baby shark paper plates and napkins! I put on coco melon and baby shark songs on the speaker! Bobby heard them and giggled in delight! We had only 1 guest who was Bobby's age- miss Siyona. She was the guest of honor. All the kids hung out at the party ground and enjoyed the day. Soon, it was time to break the pinata. All miss Haana's friends took turns and it was only after several tries from all of them that the pinata gave in. All the candy was recovered, looted and divided amongst the kids. Bobby boy stole all that he could.
It was a great birthday for Bobby.
