My little angel is 2 years old! It seems like it was just yesterday that I brought him home from the hospital. (Cliche') Anyway, as promised, I planned to spend the day with Danial. Azrai had to go to work but that's OK. At least one of us is earning of keep for the day.

I took Danial to see Dr. Chan for his 2 year old immunization shot; Hepatitis A. He took it well, no sweat. My little hero. Then, we dropped by at Wan Ot's house in Bangi for a short visit. Danial got a present from Wan Ot and family and he was making a real mess too.

I took him home to get him to take a nap before the celebration later but it turned out that he was playing all the time while I have my nap. Sometimes you just wonder where do they get all their energy to play all day. I spent half a day with Danial and I was exhausted.

Since he didn't want his nap, I gave him a quick bath and change him for a night out to celebrate his birthday. Just the three of us this year. That way, it's safe. Nobody can spoil it for us. OK, before I start spoiling this blog and curse somebody, I better not go there. Happy thoughts Rozi...

Back to the story, I took Danial on the ERL to meet Azrai in KL. We wanted to go to Midvalley so that we can get Danial his birthday present at Toys'r'Us. I've chosen to break fast at Chili's after watching a tv show; Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan hosted by Maria Tunku Sabri. I was salivating watching her gobble up some serious stuff they serve there in Chili's. It was a good choice too if I may say so myself as kids under 12 eat for free; and on top of that, the drinks are bottomless. The best possible arrangement especially during Ramadhan.

We enjoyed the food. As for the birthday boy, he's happy wherever he goes as long as we're there with him. He's good at keeping himself entertained as well with the complementary balloon given to him while we have our dinner. He's the best!

So, the highlight of the evening was to go to Toys'r'Us to get him his birthday present. Personally, I think the highlight is more for us than him. He is still too young to start asking us to get him toys. He's happy with whatever that we give to him, even if it's just an empty coke bottle. We were the ones who're having a tough time deciding what to get for him that can keep him occupied for hours. In the end, we got him some buiding blocks and his first set of Lego. I grew up with Lego and I strongly feel that Danial can explore his imagination with his Lego set.

He was excited with his new toys that he insist on carrying them on his own and got really cranky when we took it away from him. He was way tired as it was way past him bedtime and he didn't get much naptime during the day. My little man dozed off in the car as we headed home... A perfect ending for his 2nd birthday.

To my darling Danial, Happy birthday my sweet child. I pray that all good things come your way and may you have the best that life can offer you. Mama loves you always.
