Emily made a spongebob cake for him. It took her three hours to complete. Isaac has some friends from church come to the party. He got a spongebob bouncer which everybody loved. They did some other activities, which I don't know much about, but Emily made it a great party. The twins participated like they were just part of the group.
Isaac did say he had fun at his party.
Emily will give her thoughts of the party: This was the first birthday party that Isaac actually wanted to play with his friends, it was fun to watch. There were 7 boys plus Isaac. We made spongebobs out of real sponges, pipe cleaners, and big googly eyes, then we made oceans by putting water, baby oil, blue food coloring, mini sea shells, brown glitter and blue beads into a baby food jar. This was the favorite activity, and the most messy too! Isaac told us he wanted a spongebob bouncer for his birthday party, he's been planning this for about 5 months. He printed off huge spongebob bounce houses from the internet and showed them to us, letting us know that's exactly what he wanted. After inflating his bouncer, we told him he could get in and jump, he said "I'm waiting for it to get bigger" I had to burst his bubble and let him know that was as big as it would ever be. He may have been a tad bit dissapointed, but after bouncing with his friends, he loves it. It really was a fun birthday party, and when Isaac told us he had fun, it made it well worth it.
Isaac is in a regular 1st grade classroom this year, he has a para(they were called teacher's aides when I was in school)that is one on one with him. She intervenes when he needs special assistance. I've been very impressed with his school and his teacher. I think it's a challenge for him, but he's up for it. I took frog cupcakes to his class on his birthday, the kids loved them. I have to say after decorated the massive spongebob cake and 24 cupcakes I don't want to see frosting for a while! It was an exhausting day, but we'll all have good memories.
