Honestly I never thought time would go by so fast. Parents always say it does and it is something you never understand till you have children. One day I will write about Wells’ birth story but suffice it to say it still feels like yesterday. Being his mother is such a privilege and watching him grow into a little man makes me beyond proud and breaks my heart at the same time. Who knew that was possible!
On a lighter note, we celebrated with a party for all of his friends. We had it during the week because weekends during the summer are very busy. The theme was trains because this little boy loves trains. I started out with my Pinterest board for inspiration. I wanted it to not be a complete Thomas character themed one. I went more for a vintage theme.

Luckily, my husband is quite good at making my vision come to life. I explain to him what I want and he somehow makes it happen. Here is what he created for the invites. I had him then just “stamp” the tickets with a Thank You to tape on the goodie bags. (You can download the train ticket invitation svg he created using Inkscape).
For a while Wells wanted a robot cake with a train on top, luckily we talked him out of that and ended up with a nice looking train cake.
It was a great party with his friends. He enjoyed all the gifts. The most important part was how special he felt. Happy Birthday Wellington! I love you to the moon and back and you will always be my newborn Bean.
