Birthday Party

Willem attended his first kiddie birthday party today. The b-day girl’s name is Harper and she turned 3. Her backyard was outfitted with two big inflatable pools and there was a lovely cement pond for the big kids to lounge in. Curious George was the theme (her mommy put her foot down when Dora The Explorer was requested) and with approximately 15 little ones running around, it was all curious business. I dressed Willem in his flaming swim trunks sans a swimmer diaper (Walgreen’s doesn’t carry them btw and not having any was a last minute discovery) and prayed that no turds surfaced anywhere. I took him over to the plastic pools where his potential posse was frolicking about. He took one look at the group and let me know he was having none of it and promptly headed for the adult pond for some swim time. He was quite content out there with his daddy. He’s such a big boy now, all walking and taking initiatives with abandoned cans of beer. He even tried to kiss a girl about 20-something his senior. He had his Walden moments as he’d wander out in to the yard and plop his soggy butt in the grass and play with small leaves. He missed his afternoon nap so I had prepared for the worst but he was pretty even keeled and charming. The highlight to him was discovering Harper’s doll stroller with a naked boy baby in it. He would’ve pushed that baby to our house if I’d let him.
