Then I obsessed on how to decorate for the birthday. Thanks to pintrerst, I came up with a few ideas.
Last, I was completely obsessing over the special surprise I had for our parents. You see, Trent and I had been keeping a little secret from everyone for several months. We had known since Dec. 6th that I was pregnant with our second child. We were overjoyed over the news, but I didn't think about it non-stop like I did with my first pregnancy. To be perfectly honest....I would just forget I was pregnant. It wasn't that I lacked enthusiasm about the pregnancy, I just stay busy and it's just not quite as exciting as your "very first" pregnancy. With this being said - I decided to find a fun way to reveal the secret to the grandparents. I bought an adorable shirt for Calvin that read "I'm not lion, I'm going to be a big brother". The shirt had an adorable lion in the middle of it. I thought what better time and neat way to reveal our secret at Calvin's party with all the family around?!? I put the shirt on Calvin and put a vest on top of it so the secret wouldn't be revealed until the perfect time - which was when I put Calvin in his high chair to dig into his cake. That way everyone would be around watching and notice his shirt.
Well here's how that "reveal" went down. We took off Calvin's vest and put him in the high chair so everyone could read our exciting news.
Yeah, that's how this ungrateful, party-pooper reacted. To top this rude behavior off.....NOBODY noticed his shirt....NOBODY. Trent finally picked Calvin up and held him to calm him and so everyone could read his shirt.
And NOBODY noticed his shirt...at all. We finally just put Calvin back in his chair and gave him a piece of cake to see if it would calm him.
And it did! Hey - sugar will make ANYONE happy! He was good-to-go after the cake. Sadly, no one ever did notice the shirt so we had to bring it to everyone's attention...what a waste of $27!!!
