Yu Have Come to the Right Place.

Taisei Day #3

Of all the things I've missed since the last post, there's one thing I can't fail to mention. Happy Birthday to Taisei (back in March)!

We really stretched it as far as we could this year. Taisei's playgroup friends came over for a little party. We actually let the parents leave and braved 12 toddlers for a couple of hours. It actually wasn't so bad. Several volunteers stayed behind to help. The only problem is that at his age, kids don't understand why only person gets gifts and they don't. Poor kids. :( I hope we get to give them gifts back too.
They celebrated in nursery (at church) too, but he seemed a little confused about what was going. Still, all the kids had a good time.Wami used Taisei's birthday as an excuse to go to the Cheesecake Factory. At least Taisei did get a cake and song. :) He definitely enjoyed the food too. This boy loves going out to eat.
When I compare these pictures with those from just a year or two ago, it's clear that Taisei has grown up quite a bit. It almost seems like he grows on me more and more, even though that's how I felt right from the beginning. Now I can understand why people say funny stuff like "you'll always be my baby." That's exactly how I feel. He might not be immobile, putting everything in his mouth, or babbling like a baby anymore, but he is still my baby. The change between the bachelor life, married life, and parenting is dramatic. But the biggest change is definitely life as a parent. And I definitely wouldn't go back if I could. We love you, Taisei!
