Today is actually Miles' birthday but his Elmo's World Party was yesterday. We had lots of fun and excitement. Two very important people were missing due to illnesses. Mike's dad with the shingles and my mom who had an emergency appendectomy earlier in the week. We had a fun time but it was bittersweet because we wished they could have been here for our first birthday together.
We had elmo cupcakes and a large walking Elmo balloon bouquet along with party hats and horns. We chose Elmo because Miles LOVES him and loves all things Sesame Street. He is always humming the elmo song. We also had pizza and pop along with Elmo juice boxes for all the kids. The cousins were here and also close family friends. It was warm and muggy so we went back and forth between the deck and inside the house. Miles got a bubble mower,a camping chair and Curious George ball and bat from us. He got lots of other awesome stuff also. It was a special day.
I have had his birth-mother on my mind today as well as his foster mother. He has no idea just how much he is loved by so many people. He is such a special little boy and is full of life. He is hilarious and cracks us up with the things he says. He always says "OH!!" after we tell him something like it was the greatest story ever. He is saying lots of words and gives many unsolicited kisses. When he knows he has done something that will probably get him in trouble, he will grab my hand and pat and kiss it. Little manipulator huh??? HAHA!! Happy Birthday Miles. You are so precious to us and we can't wait to experience all the adventures life holds for us!! Love you always!!
