Sam's birthday

Sam didn't eat any dinner and had a sudden temperature on Thursday night, two and a half days before his birthday. I took him to see a doctor on Friday and he had the first dose of antibiotics by lunch time that day. However, Sam still got worse overnight, vomited many times between 1-5 am on Sat morning. We would cancel the family birthday dinner on Sunday if he hadn't shown signs of improvement. Sam asked for bread and started to eat on Saturday night, and by Sunday was full of beans again. It was a tiring weekend for the adults, having to look after a sick child and prepare dinner for everyone. It was my birthday the following day, all I wanted to was to have a good nap!

I had learned from past birthdays that there was no point trying to do too much and made myself too tired. There is always another birthday coming. I decided to outsource the cake this year and made the family dinner as simple as I could. There was no time to make another dessert either but the white chocolate mud cake (it weighted a ton!) was enough really. There was plenty of food left without me making more varieties.
Lara and Sam loved the ballons and enjoyed playing with their cousins.
Happy 2nd birthday my little boy!
