Whenever there is a birthday party in school, he will show me the party pack he got and tell me what kind of cake his friends were having.   At this age, he knows how to ask for things.  He told me he wanted a football cake and party pack for his friends. He even tell me what he wants in his party pack.

So I got Jerrica to make a football cake for him. Why football?  I really have not idea. He saw this football cake in Secret Recipe.  That was where is said he wants a football cake ONLY football.  The one in Secret Recipe had a scarf wrapped around the football. So he will always remind me that he wants the football ONLY.

Here are Jonathan’s friend in school.  They sang birthday song to him in 3 languages… English, Mandarin and BM.  Cute fellas. One of the children asked me if I am Jonathan’s sister or mommy. So funny…

Lucky boy is he. Loved by people around him. His cuteness overshadowed his mischievousness.  Never had I in my childhood received so many presents.

Jonathan boy, no matter how mischievous you are, you are always our little boy…our greatest pride and joy. Daddy and Mommy pray that you will grow up to be a God fearing child. We pray that you continue to stay healthy and safe.

Dear Jesus, please help me to give my baby a kiss and a big hug. Tell her Daddy, Mommy and Jonathan kor-kor misses her a lot…

(This is one of the last pic I took of her before her final admission. My favourite pic and we had it on her tombstone. We photoshop away her feeding tube. She was so sweet and perfect.)

We had a party for Jonathan 3 year old birthday on 10.10.2010.  A belated celebration as his actual birthday falls on a Friday. Some snapshots from the party. More in Facebook.

Engaged a face painter. At least got the kids and adults occupied with something. Check her out here.

Took this chance to meet up with some mommy bloggers…Chanel, MC, Yugene, Merryn , Joanne and Rachel.  Thanks guys for coming and the gift for Jonathan and Samantha.  And it was my first time meeting Chanel and Mchyl. Was so happy when they accepted my invitation.

So what is the takeaway from the birthday party?

No more birthday party for you, boy. I hope…

Our very first party was on his fullmoon. We had a food caterer for both events and the no. of guests was more of less the same. But we were not feeling as hectic as this time.  Kimmy and I were going around entertaining the guests. And you may or may not know that I am not a sociable person and will try to avoid it if I can. So that Sunday was like forcing myself to greet and talk to people I know and worst, people I’m meeting for the very first time. Just doesn’t know what to say and how to make them feel not lonely.  Sorry guys, for being a bad host.

From my Mommy & Daddy:

Jonathan boy, you are our gift from God and we love you so much.
You are a smart and obedient boy,
you amaze us every day and bring joy into our lives.
May you always know that God loves you,
and that you are chosen to do good and wonderful things in your life.
And may the angels guide you, protect you all the days of your life.

Last year, Mommy put the candle on his cake. This year, he tried to put the candle on his own cake but smudged the cream.

Last year, he couldn’t tell/show his age. This year, he tried to say and could show that he is 2 years old.

Last year, his cousins help him to blow off the candle. This year, he blew off the candle by candle all by himself but with multiple tries coz his blow was too gentle.

Last year, Daddy and Mommy help him to cut the cake. This year, he wouldn’t let go the knife but didn’t do a good job coz the fondant was too hard for him.

Last year, he ate the cake. This year, he ate only the sugary sweet little car and big airplane.

Last year, he face was full of chicken pox. This year, his face is as smooth as Mommy.
