Just one year ago Spencer and I sat in Tim Hortons eating Tim Bits and biding our time until we could head back to the hospital where, later that evening, Peter Royer joined our family. Since then our Little Peter has travelled the world and brought a smile to everyone he meets. His birthday fell on a Friday this year so the celebration became a two-day affair. On Friday morning I took the boys to play group where Peter found a carpeted flight of stairs on which to practice his climbing skills. On the way home we bought him a birthday balloon and then went home for a nap and an afternoon full of play.
Saturday was the day for cake and presents with Daddy at home. During Peter's morning nap Eliot helped me make cupcakes and supervised their decoration. Peter was thrilled with the candles and the singing, not as much with the cake. Lemon cake with vanilla frosting is an acquired taste--who knew?
In the afternoon we took the boys to the beach where Spencer took Peter down to dabble his feet in the ocean. Peter loved it, and cried when the waves didn't wash up quickly enough.
Our Little Peter Man has brought us so much joy. We love him so much!

Loooove the last picture. It's frame worthy! Happy birthday Peter. Wish I could give your cheeks a kiss. RR
Great pictures Nora. I especially like the one where Peter is playing in the bucket, Eliot is standing with his shirt in his mouth, the cupcake-cake, Eliot in front of the cupcake-cake and the last one of Spencer and Peter in the water. Happy Birthday Peter!
