Being the Borquez's: Kal-el Wishes Blaise & Aurora A Happy Birthday!

Saturday Kal-el had the pleasure of attending Blaise and Aurora's 1st and 3rd birthday parties! Chris trains with their daddy, also named Chris. These too adorable siblings are birthday twins. I think it would be unique and so much fun to share a birthday with a sibling. Kal-el had an absolute BLAST at the party. The event took place at Forrest Jumps. Super had never been there before so Chris and I really looked forward to watching him play and interact. When we first arrived we took Kal-el over to meet Blaise. It took him a little while to warm up to his new surroundings but there was no stopping him after the initial 20 minutes. He played HARD and was on EVERYTHING. I tried to help him go down the big slide because I thought he was just a little young to do that one alone. It apperaed to be just the older kids using that part of the facility. My attempts to help him, both going up the latter and the ride back down were met with a barrage of kicks and punches followed by "Kal-el do it, I can do it, NO NO NO Mommy...go AWAY!" Umm ok son, that wasn't embarrassing. Mr. Independent.
If I thought that was the only funny/embarrassing thing we would have to endure for the night I was so very mistaken lol ;) For starters, when we first arrived Chris and I were under the impression that we could get in the smaller bouncy with our child...you know just until he got familiar with it. After attempting to go up the smallest blow up ladder there...unsuccessfully...a grand total of four times *I* gave up. Yes, me....not my athletic son but his overgrown Mom who was told a few short minutes later that "parents weren't allowed to "jump." Ooops ;) I should note that Kal-el managed to get up it the first time my himself. Thank you Chris Borquez for the athletic genes, your son really appreciates them. Next up, cake time. But not before Super eyes candy at the far end of the room and has a mini meltdown over it. Our sweet hosts went ahead and let him have one of the bags. It ended up working nicely as bribery long enough to get him to sit still for a group picture. I happen to notice that there were PEANUT M&M's in the bag right as cameras started flashing away. I almost bit my bottom lip off and prayed he wouldn't get them open. Don't think I wouldn't of nose dived into the floor if he managed to get the choke hazard out of the tightly wrapped bag. Luckily after picture time Blaise and Aurora's lovely Mommy Carmen, came over and replaced the older kids Candy bag with the age appropriate one for toddlers. Kal-el didn't mind the trade off because the new bag had Superwhy on it so all was well. The only thing left for Super to endure was the birthday song. He can't stand to hear people sing it. I don't even know were these aversion came from. Perhaps its because his Mommy is tone deaf. Poor child had to hear the birthday song, not once, don't twice but a grand total of THREE times in one day Saturday. First at Zach's birthday lunch and then at the double birthday party that same evening. It was enough to send him over the edge. All three times he flung himself to the floor. Yep, here's the visual...happy children eating cake and singing Happy Birthday...my child..on the floor with hands over his ears, rolling around like its a stop drop and roll fire drill. Nice! The chaos is what all the fun is about though and Kal-el played so hard that his legs and the rest rest of his little muscles ached all night. He got a workout and didn't wake up until nearly 9' o'clock the next morning. Thanks so much for having us, Chris & Carmen...we had a great time!
