The Saturday before Eli's birthday we invited both sides of the family over to celebrate Eli's birthday with a "Play Ball" birthday theme. Mom and I decorated the house with soccer ball, basketball, baseball, and football decorations. Eli was very excited to see all of the balls! We also ordered him a "Play Ball" themed ice cream cake, it was delicious! For his birthday Eli got a wooden kitchen with pots and pans, play foods, two foam balls, Mr. Potato Head, and a Leap Frog Alphabet and Numbers learning toy. Eli loved opening his presents! He enjoys playing with all of his new toys. I practice his alphabet and numbers with him everyday at breakfast time.
Eli usually loves blowing out candles, however, when everyone starting singing "Happy Birthday" to him he got scared. He started crying and cling to me! We eventually calmed him down and he did blow out him candles. Eli loved eating the ice cream cake.
On his actual birthday we took him out to dinner where he got to have a special birthday sundae with a candle on it. He enjoyed blowing that candle out and eating the sundae.
Eli liked all of the ball decorations!
Singing happy birthday scared him, help me Mom!
