I can only imagine what its like to fall asleep in your quiet bedroom only to wake up with a fever, double ear infection, and 40 people in your house, playing with your toys, all waiting to watch you put your hands into a piece of cake. Well that’s what happened to Liam this past Saturday. I debated even making a video diary of his birthday party because he looks so miserable in each video! Turns out you can order the cupcakes weeks in advance, shop for the perfect birthday outfit, and stay up until 2 am building a balloon arch out of chicken wire and blowing up over 100 balloons. But you can not prepare for your baby to be sick on the day of his party. Nothing that some refined sugar and antibiotics couldn’t cure. And at least we will have a good story to tell him when he is older! Sources from the party are listed below. Enjoy the video!
