When my little pumpkin turned one, it felt like such a major milestone. Sometimes it was hard to believe we all survived. I wanted to make sure it was absolutely the most perfect day ever...like moreso than I ever cared about my wedding being perfect. His first birthday was pretty perfect, with everyone in our families and all of our friends there to see him smash cake in his face, open a ton of really awesome gifts and just generally be showered with love.
This year, I've come down from that cloud a little. Of course I do want the wee one to have a fantastic birthday. But, I'm not quite as obsessed. I did briefly consider renting a bounce house for the party, but I think I came to my senses. Ideally, we'd rent him an ATV or a Bobcat he could sit in, but that just seems a little overboard.
I have been working on a little crafty project for the birthday. It's a really cool car shirt using a vintage boy's button up short sleeve shirt pattern my mom gave me. I think it's turning out great. I just have to find some buttons for it. Any recommendations? I'm thinking making-versus-buying the kiddo's birthday gifts will make a pretty good tradition if I can keep it up. My sister does it with her kids and it's always really special. She and her hubby have made a little bench, a play theater, all kinds of cool things...
Any brilliant ideas on fun activities for a 2-year-old birthday? I mean, aside from a bounce house...

Handmade - all the way! I love the shirt!
OMG, I love that fabric!! I totally should have come to you for help with the shirt I'm making for Ronan. It is similar to that and I totally messed up the collar, I can't tell what the heck the directions are telling me. I got stood up last Sunday from my friend that was going to help me fix it. :-( I am having lunch with her next week but if I get stuck again I'll come to you! Super cute!!
