Lucas had his first birthday last June 18th. His celebration started early when we woke him up, congratulated him and put on the new clothes that we purchased in France for the special occasion. Got him ready and drove to the bakery then Robert and I could buy something to bring to our respective offices. Here in Denmark (same as Argentina) if you have something to celebrate, like your birthday, you bring cake or pastries to share with everybody.
Then drove to daycare, and there was a little sign announcing Lucas bday!!.
We came back to the daycare after lunch, and brought sweet bread for the kids. When I was ordering the birthday cake at the bakery, they explained to me, that they prepare a giant sweet bread, man shaped, for the daycares, some parents disapprove the cakes because of the sugar content. We sang happy birthday to Lucas, who started crying immediately… poor guy, but he felt better when started eating the bread.
After the mini-celebration we drove to Copenhagen for his first hair cut. I think this was Lucas' favorite part of the day, that we "rescue" him early from daycare. He is having a hard time adjusting to daycare. He was a good baby during the haircut, mainly due that it was his first time trying a lollypop. It became gross at some point with his sticky hands, face and the lollypop with hairs… at the end he looked really handsome, and in my opinion, better looking than before the haircut.
We also took him shopping in Copenhagen, he needed a white or light top for his photo shoot next day.
When we arrived home Lucas opened his presents: a tent with a tunnel, and a wooden car. He loved them. He got also many phone calls, emails and facebook messages because of his birthday.
It was a happy day for Lucas and us. We are going to have an intimate party for Lucas in our place as soon as we have the place ready. He will have real cake in that one.
Lucas primer cumpleaños!!
La celebración comenzó temprano cuando lo despertamos, lo felicitamos y le pusimos su nueva pinta, la que compramos en Niza especialmente para esta ocasión, tenia que estrenar. Luego fuimos a la panadería para comprar unas tortas para traer a la oficina mía y a la de Robert. Es tradición aquí, (lo mismo que en Argentina) que cuando uno tiene algo que celebrar, trae torta o bizcochitos para compartir con los compañeros de trabajo.
Luego lo fuimos a dejar en el jardín, ahí le tenían un letrerito anunciando su cumpleaños. Después de almuerzo volvimos al jardín, y llevamos pan dulce para la mini-celebración. Cuando iba a ordenar la torta de cumple para Lucas, en la panadería me dijeron, que la tradición era ordenar un pan grande, en forma de hombrecito, que había padres que no les gustaba que nos nenes comieran torta, porque tiene mucho azúcar. Le partimos su pancito y cuando le estábamos cantando el feliz cumpleaños, el pobre se puso a llorar, claro que se calmo ahi mismo apenas empezó a comer pan.
Luego de su mini-fiesta, manejamos hasta Copenhagen para su primer corte de pelo. Creo que esta fue la parte favorita del día para Lucas, que lo rescatáramos temprano del jardín. Todavía no se adapta del todo. El peluquero le dio una colombina, la primera en su vida, para que se entretuviera durante el corte. Claro que a los pocos minutos ya la colombina tenia pelos, y Lucas con la cara y las manos pegachentas y llenas de pelos. Quedo muy lindo con su nuevo corte, se ve mejor que antes.
Después del corte, lo llevamos de compras, necesitaba una camisa nueva para el foto-estudio que le íbamos a hacer el día siguiente. Cuando llegamos a la casa, abrió sus regalos, una carpita con un túnel, y un carrito de madera. Ambos le gustaron mucho.
Fue un día muy feliz todos nosotros, recibió también muchas llamadas y mensajitos, Pronto tendremos una fiestita en casa para que pueda tener una torta de verdad.
So Cute! Wish I was there to help celebrate his birthday. Miss you all. Did he get the sale girl's phone number? ;) Love the tunnel!
