Jaden's 2nd Birthday Party @ Poolside

We had a birthday party for Jaden last night on 3 Oct as his real actual birthday, which was about a week ago, fell on a Monday and we sort of figured that nobody would turn up on a weekday.

I had Jaden's timetable planned out well, so he would be able to have ample energy by the time his party starts and boy I did good.

Woke him up at about 1230pm, went out lunch at Paddington's with WWei, left her at The Curve to walk around and shop a bit on her own, went round to this lady's house to pick up Jaden's customized birthday cake, sent it to Iz's house first, went home and bathed the small one who was already yawning by then. After his bath, it was instantly into his bouncing bassinet and soon he was off to dreamland without any struggles at about 4pm.

I then, took my own sweet time in doing what I have to do to get ready for Jaden's party and finally, when 6pm comes, I woke the boy up and quickly fed him full, change him and Iz came over to pick Hubby and Jaden over to his place with the baby chair first whereas I had to run over to The Curve to pick my girlfriend up. o.Oh.. btw, Hubby just reached home at about 6pm because he had work earlier in the day, which he left the house since 730am. Talk about a tired daddy, a mummy who was so scared that things would not turn out as it is expected and hoping the little one would put on his best behavior (which he being himself, did not!)

The caterers were already there at about 530pm to set up the food, drinks & dessert and bbq area. The menu was rather ok, which I find myself liking the Mee Siam, Sotong, the bbq-ed prawns on the sticks and ABC best!

Guests started arriving by the time the clock hits 7pm. Thevi & Stuart were the earliest, followed by Joy Kai-Ma, then JeffryGoh and then I lost count. All I knew was most of the guests we invited turned up..

Jaden was already busy running around, which we had to supervised because its near the poolside, fearing he might just want to take a dip in the pool. *phew* Luckily he is scared of the pool.

Iz, Gynette and Jeffry helped hung the paper lanterns I bought for some decoration, which also goes in theme with the Chinese calendar of the mid-autumn festival.

Luckily Iz and his family were there to help me keep an eye on Jaden and the little sister entertaining Jaden with his new three-wheel vehicle. Hubby and I were busy entertaining guests and sometimes, the little boy as well, whom got so excited over playing, he throws a tantrum each time we want to put him down in his baby chair to eat or drink. The only time he really keeps quiet is when he gets to drink Vitagen.





Jaden, this time round did not behave when we sang him his birthday song. He was in fact jumping up and down because he wanted to play instead. Hubby just grabbed on to him and we quickly finish up with the birthday singsong, some photos and off the small one went again to play and play and play.

macam my birthday like that... lol

Its his birthday party after all and he gets to do what he wants.











The little party ended up at about 10pm, which some guests already left earlier because well, they have kids and I totally understand their situation. It was only those adults and the friends of mine from college who had their own mini gathering playing at the other side because they were all smoking!!!!

Kids party = No smoking allowed anywhere near!

All of us came back home nearing 1130pm and my LKW friends dropped over at my place for some chitchat session since I didn't get to be with them much earlier.

Jaden ended his night by pooing in front of my friends, in which, soon after they all left for home. =)

Caught him to bathe and wash up, and soon WWei and I helped him open all his presents and he displayed them all on the TV cabinet.

Some of his 2009 Birthday Presents...

Ended the night around 3am, which all of us were so tired that when we hit the bed, we fell instantly asleep. As for Hubby, he called it a night earlier than us girls and Jaden.

That was how Jaden's 2nd birthday party went. p/s: I don't think there will be another party of this scale until Jaden is a bit more grown up (like 5 or something) which he understands simple instructions like No! Come and eat first play later! and saying Hello and Thank you to his guests...
