First of all, the day of his birthday, Arthur woke up sick. He was in bad mood and he didn't want us to sing "happy birthday", but when he went down stairs to have his breakfast, he discovered in the conservatory his present from his parents: a garage with cars.
He was really happy, and we had to have breakfast near it, and changing his nappy and get dressed in the conservatort!.
Fortunately, he didn't mind leaving to Fiona's.
Fiona gave him a board with soft paper where there is a lot of different little piece to change the background. The theme is the train station with a nice train.
In the evening, when we came back, Christelle and Richard were waiting for us with a big packet. They offered him a bear made by themselves in the bear factory. His name is Barney, but Arthur being really traditional calls him Teddy.
They stayed for diner, Marc made some home made lasagna. We spent more time on the phone than with our guests, but thank you everyone to have called for Arthur who wasn't in good mood to talk on the phone except for his godfather Paul.
The next day, he received a parcel from Maryse, Aurelie's mum, a really nice book in French "Arthur, tidy your room". The drawings and the text are really nice.
Saturday, yesterday, we celebrated his birthday with others friends. Yes, 2 years old, 2 birthday parties!!!! There were Grace and Olivia who are his friends from Fiona's, Sophie and Isabelle and Elliot. For the adults, there were the parents and Christelle and Richard.
He got a lot of present: some puzzle of Thomas, the tank engine and Nemo from Olivia, a book from Grace (Monkey and me), a book and some Winnie the pooh chocolate from Elliot, some letter-magnet from Sophie and Isabel
Arthur blow again really well his candles, but this time Marc missed the video, so no proof. What was funny is that he managed to blow one candle and took it to light it up again with the other one. He did that two or three time, until I helped him to blow the two candles at the same time.
Today, we woke up with 10 centimetre of snow. Arthur received an other present from the neighbour: a book "Old MacDonald had a farm", I had to sing it twice!!
In the other news, Arthur being sick all week, he started to suck his thumb again. Good or not good, I don't know, but he needs it obviously. He is really grumpy and has tantrums these days, so I hope it will help him to calm down.
To finish with birthday and anniversaries, Marc and I went to a gastro-pub for our wedding anniversary on Thursday. It was delicious.
