For Ryan's 1st birthday, Tony and I took him to the zoo. He loved looking at all the animals, but I think his favorites were the giraffes with the elephants in a close second. I loved watching the look of wonder in his eyes as he tried to process what these large animals were.
I loved that we had a low-key celebration without a lot of fanfare and gifts. All we really wanted was to spend time with our little boy. And that's just what we did.
So we did without the big party. We did without the birthday cake. And we even did without a lot of presents. Grandma and Grandpa Mano sent some great books which we love and some cute clothes and he loved the books books and toys from cousins. We gave him a snappy little $5 car that says "Finn McMissile...British Intelligence" which he loves.
Afterall, besides spending a day with mommy and daddy at the zoo, what more could a one-year old ask for?
