One of the best things about turning 2 1/2 is that your Mom & Grandma can take you to the Disney Store in the mall and you think you’ve been to Disney World. Hug a couple of stuffed Mickey’s, watch Toodles on the store’s DVD player and you’ll sleep a pixie dust-induced sleep for hours, thinking you have the best Mommy in the world.
Obviously, Zeke doesn’t get the whole 1/2 birthday thing yet…he doesn’t understand his regular birthday. BUT, he will. So, just like all the other holidays, we’re paving the road now to drive on it later. Besides…it’s an excuse to eat cupcakes, sing “Happy 1/2 birthday to you” and give Zeke lots of extra special attention. (Did anyone notice the cupcakes were listed first?)
I made Ghirardelli chocolate muffins and called them 1/2 birthday cakes. Zeke took one bite and said, “mmm, mmm, mmm…delish! Da goo, Mommy…da goo.”
Next year we’ll take him to Petco and tell him he’s at the zoo.

That’s cute!
Thanks, Kristin. PS I love the name of your blog!
What a cutie! Looks like he had a good time.
I appreciate the Mom support, Rita. A lot of my childless friends judge me hard…what do THEY know?
So cute, I love that face! How can you not love that adorable boy? It’s great when they are little and you can get away with those kinds of birthday trips, but don’t get used to it… when they are teens, they will make up for it! They will start wanting designer clothes, $150 sneakers, cars… OMG, do I remember. But it’s not ALL bad because then you can send them out and make them get a job.
Glsd you had a great time with your little man. Let me know when you go to Petco, I LOVE it there and we can bring Nano and Mia, they love it there, too. 🙂
Thanks, Lori…I can’t even think about the “later years”. I just have to get through today…;-)
