Tempus Fugit

Just few days ago, we celebrated our older son's 3rd birthday. I can't believe that he is three now! Seems like it was just yesterday that I gave birth to him. Not only he is three years old, but also a big brother to a 3.5 months old James. We decided to have a simple celebration with some of our friends. It was a perfect timing since my Mom from Indonesia was here for the celebration of her grandchild.


RK is so fond of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so it was no surprise that he requested that theme for his birthday cake. These days, I found it hard to just do anything at all with two demanding boys at home. Time was just not there when you're THAT busy. I simplified everything in the design. I even bought the plastic Mickey figurine for the topper. Yes, I cheated. I worked on the cake as soon as the boys were all asleep. I stayed up almost all night to get the cake ready for him. I was exhausted, BUT, when I saw how happy he was as he saw the cake in the morning, it was so well worth it. The best thing was that he came up to me and said, "Mommy, thank you for making me my birthday cake." Those words brought tears to my eyes.


Last year, he can't really express himself through sentences, today, he is completely grown up, and said all of those thing that would make you shed some tears of joy.


Happy Birthday, Baby... I love you...
