Happy Birthday, Boy
My Boy turns 1 today. I took him out of his crib this morning, told him Happy Birthday, how happy we were to have him, and just bawled and bawled tears of joy.
I am baking a bazillion cupcakes. More than half of the party RSVPds have called off due to illness, but that's OK because our house isn't that big. We still have a long list of things to do before the party- for example, we must have balloons. We haven't even bought him our present yet.
And we're hoping for a huge mess of the cupcake. HUGE.
