Yesterday the three of us went to the armadillo's BFF's 2nd birthday party. It was a blast and so tiring. Even though it was all of the kids running around and yelling I felt it took a lot out of me just to watch. The armadillo had his favorite foods there ... fruit, juice, pizza and of course cake! It was a yummy chocolate banana cake. Now that I'm thinking of it, I wished I took some home. Yikes! Scratch that ... bad idea.
Oh but we had so much fun. It was nice to just let the armadillo and the other kids loose while I got to hang out with the other mamas and talk. Of course I carried the sumo baby in the carrier, but he was fine just "hanging out" with his mama.
Towards the end the kids started to wear down. Whining could be heard and tempers started to flare, it was nap time. I could just tell that the armadillo was going down for the count while we were in the car on the way home. He kept mumbling "mama mama mama" while at the same time not really saying anything. Nothing like a good party to drain the energy out of the little ones.
