Birthday party
Agent Murphy was duly feted yesterday for his first birthday by a wonderful group of our friends, including four boys ages 4, 3, 2, and 1. The Agent was initially perplexed by his piece of birthday cake. I’m not sure how my boy became a dainty eater, but he carefully picked at persistently until he’d eaten most of the piece. His Uncle R. says it’s because the Agent didn’t want to let on to us how much he likes cake. The sugar high after everyone left was a sight to behold.
We have a pile of presents to make our way through opening over the course of the day today. We got started on one last night because A. didn’t believe the party could be over if Agent Murphy didn’t open any presents. He’d helped his mommy pick out a really good one for the Agent – Wacky Willy, a vibrating hectapus with shapes of various colors to play with. He’s a big hit!
We learned the good news that A. (the other one) and E.’s daddy got a new job – but they have to move away. It’s sad to see Agent Murphy’s only friend his own age have to leave, but we’ll get in another play date or two before they go.
