Daddy Mommy chose this theme coz I chose the Thomas sticker 3 out of 3 times when Daddy let me choose it. Mommy did up the choice of about 10 over cartoons for me to choose from, and I keep on choosing Thomas and went "mas mas!". Anyway, here's all about my party. :)
13 other friends came to celebrate with me. I have 2 lovely mylar balloons, one of them is a HUGE one in Thomas shape. And 40 other helium balloons...
2 Days before the PARTY
Mommy busy packing goody bags. As my party will be on the 15th day of the lunar 8th month, she managed to find mini electric lanterns, safe and small enough to stuff inside the goody bags. She wanted each kid to have one, so they will not be without a lantern during the Mid-Autumn Festival. She found this at a party shop in Middle Rd. Only one shop stocks them. :)
Done!
Party Day!
I Love my 2nd Birthday Cake! It has a realistic Thomas on the top, with "steam" coming out of it! There's even a small green Percy (my favourite) coming out of the tunnel! I was so excited when I saw it Daddy had to grab my hands to prevent me damaging the cake. Mommy got the cake from Auntie Glad (www.gladcake.blogspot.com) who does LURVELY cakes. :)
I had a little "accident" before my nap. The helper was moping one part of the floor so it was wet. Mommy didnt want me to go over so she held my hand but I struggled as I wanted to go see what auntie is doing. Think my wrist was strained/sprained, and I kept whining after that. Mommy had to hold my hand gently up, with my elbow bent, so that I am comfortable.
When the balloons came, I kept wowing at them, and grabbed the biggest Thomas balloon I can find, the jumbo one. and won't let go. I held it with my left hand which was uninjured.
She was so worried, and not sure if I can still nap. Mommy persuaded me to go into the bedroom and I actually let go of the balloon. I napped 1.5hrs without fuss. But when I woke, I was still in pain, and kept whining, holding my hands gingerly. Mommy so heartpain......even wearing my Thomas t-shirt for me caused much pain and I refused to wear one arm of it. Daddy managed to do it, and Mommy Daddy put ona bandage for me so that I will have less chance of further straining it and also to let guests know "pls handle with care". Initially I wasn't as active/noisy as usual, but I soon warmed up! by 6pm, Mommy noticed I was jumping around on the sofa and bracing myself with my right hand. I have recovered! :)
Before the 1st guests arrived, the food from Kriston came, and we busied ourselves with putting the mee siam gravy in the slow cooker, and the popiah filling in the rice cooker, to keep warm, so the guests will always have hot food. Mommy very hiao, went to arranged the prawns and hardboiled egg (ingredients for mee siam) in a rotating ceramic dish hehe.
Ah Gong Ah Ma are the first to arrive around 4pm, closely followed by Reubern and Auntie Joanne/Uncle Tony. Reubern busied himself with the Laugh and Learn home and Post Office once he got here hehee!
While Ah Gong was caught on camera playing with the train tracks.
Poor me still not as active as usual coz of my injured hand.
Mommy bought a Thomas shaped candle and guided me to put it on my cake.

Cake Cutting...
Mommy also ordered some temp Thomas tattooes from overseas. It contains pics of engines like Thomas, Percy and James, with railroad signs and other thomas stuff. She know some girls may not like Thomas things, so she also bought some flower, angel tattooes. So there were 2 bowls of the 2 diff kinds of tattooes, with a separate bowl containing water and 2 small sponges. When my guests enter the house, either Daddy or Mommy will put on the tattoes for them hehe. Mommy got this idea from Auntie Ling back during Sophie's 1st birthday!Oh and Sophie chose Thomas today. :)
Here am I with mine. I love them so much I wanted all Percy, Thomas, James...and Thomas again on both my arms! Do I look impressive with tattooes all over me and wielding a metal tongs!??
This Percy is on Arianne's hand.
What a day! Most of the guests have left, and some of my friends have stayed behind to have some fun. I was enjoying myself so much I kept laughing!
Auntie June did a Singlish Story telling using Thomas. For full unabridged original version (before my birthday), pls see DN's blog hehe.
I love Auntie June's story telling! Auntie Brenda said I kept doing the PR laugh. :P
Auntie June's was very excited over the 40 helium balloons above her, waiting to be inhaled! She sang me a birthday song!

Mommies fixing up the mini lanterns to go downstairs. Lazy us actually wanted to stay in the house, switch off the lights and pretend we are "downstairs"! But the toddlers won't have it, so down we go...
Before we went down however, we ended up in my bedroom where the post office is. Three of us were giggling and playing in the post office,and our Mommies caught us sleeping together!!!

Good idea! Planning for kids birthday parties is so much fun. I don’t have kids of my own but every year I plan parties for my niece and nephew. I am going to save this post because again, it is my nephew’s birthday next month and I haven’t had this theme for the party before. I have picked up some nice Los Angeles venues for the party though.
