Simon had a birthday recently and turned 2. Right now he’s really into cars, Cars the movie (and naturally, the characters of that movie), and Thomas the train. We focused presents on those things because we knew they’d be a sure win.
He got some Thomas the train underwear for that day some time in the future when toilet training will happen. He also got (later) a potty seat with Lightning McQueen on it that has a lever on the side that when pulled triggers a revving engine sound.
Aunt Danielle came to visit and Grandma Jeana and Grandpa Gramps came down have cake and ice cream. Jeana and Danielle made a really cool cake of Lightning McQueen.
I think Simon enjoyed driving the car across his high chair tray than eating it. The car’s shape was made as a rice krispie treat. Simon wasn’t so sure about eating it, but once we told him it was a cookie he ate up.
Simon LOVED his new cars – the characters from the Cars movie. He was keen on keeping them in a straight line, maybe trying to copy the later scenes of the movie when the cars cruise down the main street of Radiator Springs.
