This weekend we celebrated Ben's 2nd birthday by throwing him a "Little Einsteins" themed party for him and all of his friends. We had been talking about it with him all week trying to get him excited and I think we did the job because Ben was up by 4 a.m. on Saturday morning saying over and over, "I'm ready!","Party", "Cake!!!", and "I speem" (ice cream). By 11 a.m. Ben was busting at the seams for the party to start that he even decided to wait at the door for his friends. I was a little worried about how we were going to entertain 12 two year olds, but you know they pretty much entertain themselves :). They colored, played with instruments, ate cake and ice cream, and enjoyed listening to the professional children's entertainer that I hired (Darrel) to sing and play the guitar for them. By the end of the party Ben was delirious with joy from the day's events and slept through the night for the first time in weeks. Yeah! I think the following video sums up how Ben felt about his party pretty well. Mission completion. (That's Little Einstein talk for you non-preschooler parents.) :)
