On Saturday, our friend Reilly turned 2 — and super parents Dora (an owner of Frock Candy and Shoe Nami) and Paul (Irish Furniture Maker) set the bar for awesome kids parties! Using Paul’s warehouse, they set up a huge chalk-friendly floor, enormous space jump with attached ball pit, and bubble machine. It was like kid heaven.
Both of my kids were into the bubble machine.
While Will loved throwing himself in the ball pit, Kate just loved the balls that fell out.
Will was especially into the cakes — yes, TWO cakes! When it was time for cake, Will was the first one at the table, positioning himself right across from Reilly. Friend and teacher Renee saw him and instantly saw those wheels turning… mentioning to me how Will was sitting completely erect, still, and at the ready, watching those cakes. I had to check it out myself. I saw him just as Reilly’s aunt was encouraging her to take a finger to swipe some icing. After a few go-’rounds with Reilly (who was hesitating to put her finger on the beautiful pastry), Will crept up on the table, reached over, and swiped a hunk of corner icing before I could even breathe to stop him. (His audacity was met with applause from Reilly’s family so we escaped that one!) Now I know what to discuss when we talk about going to parties! 
We all had a great time!
