Late update, but our son turned 2 last month so we gave him a Wubbzy party. Wubbzy is of course, his all-time favorite character/show. The hype in the weeks preceding the party got him very excited, and day of the party we had one very adorable little boy with a large smile on his face. We all had fun.
He really enjoyed all the Wubbzy decorations we had to offer him. I had a great time making the supplies also. I enjoy crafts very much and I spent a lot of time on my sons party. I made a kickety kick ball pinata, hand drew Wubbzy faces on the table cloths, *reused* last years birthday party supplies that were left over, bought a few Wubbzy licensed materials, wrapped up fun books as party prizes, drew Wubbzy faces on the party favor bags which included a hand/computer made Wubbzy and Friends coloring book (courtesy of Nickjr.com printouts), and perhaps a few more things I currently cannot remember.

The kids played a generic pin the tail on the donkey game which we had left over from his last birthday party. They all made "birdy bird feeders", and then there was the pinata which was about 7 layers of paper mache and made it through all the "big kids" who were there which went up to age 28. :) Actually, it did break up, but ultimately it was the string that broke not the pinata.
Oh yeah, the cake. I made a Wubbzy cake for my son. My friend also surprised me, and him, with a similar wubbzy cake. It was cool to have two cakes for the 40 people who were there. Each cake looked a little different as well. I also made the marshmallow lasagna from the nickjr.com website. I messed it up but it was still a hit, so yay!
Perhaps the highlight of the event was the t-shirt we put on our son. I bought a $1 t-shirt from Big Lots and printed out some words on iron on transfer paper. What did those words say? "My Mommy's Pregnant!" We had just found out and figured since both families would be together, why not tell them all at once and in a fun way? Watching the reactions was fun. Some people took quite a while to look at his shirt. Most were happy. Our son didn't know what message he was relaying, but it was a fun time, and great to look back on. More details about this pregnancy to come later in the blog. I wanted the shirt to say "Mom's Knocked Up" But my husband felt it was too much for his family. He was right. With all the fun ways to announce a pregnancy on a shirt, the reason we chose the one we did was when thinking about each and every one of our family members, we needed to sen the message in a direct way that could not be mistaken, with out being too harsh (like I comment I wanted lol). It worked.
