When Luke was cranky and whiny at his own party last year, it deemed not a good idea inviting a roomful of toddlers to his birthday dig. So this year when he hit the Big 2, we've resisted the temptation to throw him the extravaganza and opted for the simple and sweet. We had a small celebration with the grandparents, all 4 of them, and quite a bit of presents. I made a choo-choo train birthday cake and Luke was completely fascinated with eyes wide open, which gave me the greatest pleasure. On that day, he was the happiest man alive - he got loaded up with trucks, motorbikes, cars, play dough, art & craft sets, and tons of attention from doting grandparents. He literally went to sleep smiling with the motorbikes and Bob-the-Builder trucks in his arms. At this age, toys are his best friends.
Luke Quotables on his Birthday:
"Choo Choo Train Cake! More more choo choo train cake!"
"I want more more presents!"
"Whoa! wahahaha!" (interjection when he tore of the gift wrap)

Hello there Cobbetts! Thought we'd swing by 2singaporeslings and drop a comment after last night's talk about those mysterious online visitors. Do wish Luke a Big Happy 2 from us as well! Hope to meet up soon in the new year. -F&M

You crazy, Marth-Stwart wannabe moms impress me. Can you make me one too?
I love the cake. I'm glad you updated about Luke's birthday. We just finished Emma's 1st birthday so it's nice to have a glimpse one year into the future!
