Tomorrow is Liam’s second birthday. I have no idea how that happened…I mean, I do, but it’s crazy to think that my sweet baby is now a two year old. Of course, his attitude is totally that of a two year old (terrible, anyone?), but in so many ways, he’s still just a sweet squishy baby too. Does that make any sense at all? I didn’t think so….moving on.
For his birthday, I had watched Liam and observed and tried to figure out what would bring him the most joy. Three months ago, I would have guessed that we would be having a train party…or Sesame Street. Then he got really into Super Why. But in the past month or so, it’s been robots that have made up the bulk of my boy’s obsession. Or bots, as he calls them. There are two Sesame Street episodes that have robots on them, and I cannot tell you how many times we have watched them. I was trying to pull up Amazon Instant Video on our Roku using my phone the other day, and decided to try the voice feature. As I was saying, “Amazon Instant Video,” Liam reached in, grabbed my hand, and pulled it down to say, “bots,” in his sweet little voice. I could not stop laughing…and in that moment, I decided bots it was for his birthday. So I did what any modern mother would, and turned to Pinterest. The following are a few of the pins I found to help guide me in my robot party planning:
This robot head cut out is super cute. My sister and I made a robot to use for Liam’s party on Saturday, I just need to find a box to wrap it around. The blog this came from had a super cute robot party that I loved.
I loved this—Pin the battery on the robot. This party looked like it would be awesome for an older child…so if Liam likes robots when he’s six, I will definitely be coming back for more ideas.
And you had better believe I planned my party menu around what I could come up with robot sounding names for, like this picture from Celebrate Magazine
I also hadmysisterdraw made some robot coloring pages, and found some cute stuff for favor bags. And I found some seriously sweet, bright things to use for Liam’s decorations/plates/etc. I tried to not go too over the top, and to keep costs down, but to keep it cute and fun too. I will try to post on Monday the details from the party…I am looking forward to it!
