Matty had his picnic birthday party at the Botanic Gardens early in the morning. He got to run around, play with bubbles, eat lots of junk food and get different people to carry him (cooler than running in the mid day heat himself!). His birthday cake was from an expensive yuppie shop called The Patisserie, his parents chose a delicious cake with a road in cream and we topped it up with a real toy train (Thomas and Friends of cos). I chose Charlie cos he's a nice pretty purple train. Cake shop lady snootily told me that the cake is soft, do not put the train on for too long. So after we sang the birthday song, we started to take photos with some urgency, "hurry hurry, Charlie is sinking!".
We met up for Easter mass and dinner together in the evening. It was great, all of us sitting at mass together. Even if Matty had to bring all his trains along. During the entire mass, Matty squirmed back and forth along the pew we were at, sat on floor, sat on our kneeling pews, played with his trains (alas metal trains on wooden pews does make some noise), dropped some prayer books and at one point had to be taken out when he cried loudly after we said no to his insistent "play with godma's phoooone!". But, he was in his Father's house on Easter Sunday celebrating Jesus reigns! Alleluia!
The funniest moment was when Michy muttered to Matty to behave in order that he not put off people from having more kids, that the 6.9 will be all foreigners and he's single-handedly responsible.
Or it could be Matty going up to communion with his left palm stuck out just like all of us yet did not receive communion. He pointed back indignantly, "I want!".
Happy second birthday Matty!
