Jackson's 2nd Birthday Party

Yesterday, Bucky's friend Jackson had his 2nd birthday party - a pool party. Bucky wasn't feeling too well - I think it was allergies - but I figured we could go for a little while and hang out with everyone. All the little kids and moms went swimming for about 30 minutes. Then, the kids played inside and ate. We ended up with about 4 community plates b/c noone wanted what was on their plate but they would eat what was on everyone else's plate. There was just too much going on for them to settle down. Eventually we made it back to Jackson's room. Jimmy, Bucky and Andrew climbed into his bed like they were going to take a nap. By this time, it was almost 12:30 so our babes were getting tired. We were waiting on Tonia's parents so we could do the cake and presents. They arrived around 1:15 and "Happy Birthday" began. When Jackson started opening his gifts, we left. Bucky was so tired, he wasn't really focusing on anything anyway. The kids did very well considering they were so tired. Bucky fell asleep shortly after we left and then took a 2-3 hour nap. He still went to bed around 7:15pm and slept until 8:00am. Of course, with his sinuses acting up, he was up and down during the night because he would cough himself awake and start crying. I think the coughing was making his throat hurt but all I could do was comfort him and help him get back to sleep.

I'm so glad you came! I'm glad the kiddos stuck it out also! I have plenty of years to master bday parties right? haha
