I know it's kind of early to be thinking about this but before I know it, it will be Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, and then BOOM! 2nd birthday time! Followed closely by DD's 1st birthday (a month apart)! Augh! So I feel like I need to start planning this now.

DS's first birthday party was somewhat themed - it was loosely animal/safari themed. The cake was an owl that my mother made and some cupcakes, the decorations were simple and colorful and the guest list? My parents, the ILs, and my aunt and baby cousin (he's 4).

My initial thought would be doing Daniel Tiger but I feel like that's more of a) a pre-schooler thing than a toddler turning 2 thing and b) more of a me thing than a him thing. He has a lot of interests because he's so little. He likes playing quietly with his cars, trucks, soft fruits and veggies, books, puzzles, train, etc. He loves going outdoors and playing with his balls. And a theme might come to me in a few months but... I'd rather at least have something better in place than the quickly pulled together party that I had last time.

So tell me - what was your 2nd birthday party theme? And what was your 1st birthday party theme (still have another one of those to plan!)
