Benjamin had his first birthday on Monday. Joe was off from work so we did our best to make it a special day for him. I decided against a birthday party, but I know he still really enjoyed everything we did. I ordered two big balloons from the party store and put them on either side of his high chair like a cool throne. (One was a number one. The other was a rocket ship.) He thoroughly enjoyed looking at them. His friend Brooke came over and we all ate pizza. Then came the moment we were all waiting for. I gave him his "remote control" cake and stood back. At first, he poked at it with his index finger. But then he dove right in! Ben got the cake everywhere, but he really seemed to like it.
After a few minutes, he got frustrated with the stickiness of the cake. I cleaned him up as best as I could. Time for presents! Joe and I got him a Little People farm, as well as blocks, books, and a few odds and ends. Ben and Brooke loved the farm! It was so neat to watch him figure out his new toys. He also throughly enjoyed the Duplo (big Lego) blocks his grandparents sent him. Actually, I think Joe was pretty excited about them too. He has enjoyed showing Ben how to take them apart and put them back together.
