Mitchell woke up so happy on his first birthday, much like he wakes up each morning! Such a cheerful and busy little guy! This stool is his favorite place to sit and climb. As such, he is not afraid to strong-arm any sibling that may be standing/sitting in his way!
Everyone took off to school and we cleaned up the kitchen and headed to the gym. Then I treated us to Chipotle for lunch. After nap time, the kids came home and we played until Mitchell's special dinner, which I can't recall two months after the fact....so sad I didn't take a picture of it!
Mitchell quite liked his cake. He immediately started picking at it with his two fingers. He would only eat the black icing...for about ten minutes, just slowly picking at it and taking small consistent licks. Then I gave him a big fingerful of white frosting and pinched some cake into his mouth.
It started to get a little bit more exciting then...I had to take away the soccer ball for the rest of us to eat and gave Mitchell his extra-large cupcake to devour.
He enjoyed the whole cake idea and cried many tears when I finally took away the mostly-empty plate. Thankfully, he was entertained by the whole idea of presents. Absolutely LOVE this squatting position!!!
Mitchell had many willing hands ready to take over help him open his gifts.
As much as he loves his balls and ballpopper, at the end of the day, suckers will always win out!
