I can only imagine what its like to fallĀ asleepĀ in your quiet bedroomĀ only to wake up with a fever, double ear infection, and 40 people in your house, playing with your toys, allĀ waiting to watch you put your hands into a piece of cake. Well that’s what happened to Liam this past Saturday. I debated even making a video diary of his birthday party because he looks so miserable in each video! Ā Turns out you can order the cupcakes weeks in advance, shopĀ for the perfect birthday outfit, andĀ stay up until 2 am building aĀ balloon arch out of chicken wire and blowing up over 100 balloons. But you can not prepareĀ for yourĀ baby to be sick on the day of his party. Nothing that some refined sugar and antibiotics couldn’t cure. And at least we will have a good story to tell him when he is older! Sources from the party are listed below. Ā Enjoy the video!
