Tom birthday celebrations went very well.we spent his birthday shopping in Croydon for presents, then we went to my mums for birthday cake and a visit from his great nan (my nan).
We decided to buy him a bike for his birthday in the end, and although his legs are too small to reach the pedals it has a long handle to push him along on it so he absolutely loves it.
we took a trip down the park with him on his birthday to distract him while my mum sorted dinner out, and he was amazed by the butterflies and other insects out flying 
around his head. it was really nice to have a whole afternoon together as a family, and i think i enjoyed the day as much as Thomas did.

The next day (Friday) we took him and his friends to the cinema to celebrate his turning one, we went to see Mr Bean which was a relatively child friendly film. apart from getting a bit grizzly at the end because it was getting close to nap time Thomas was very well behaved, and seemed to enjoy the film.
Once the film had ended we went to Trafalgar square to watch the
fountains and to give the babies somewhere relatively safe to run off some steam.
we threw pennies in the fountain and went up and down the stairs for a few hours until we were hungry enough to go and get some dinner.
picking Michael up on the way we had pizza hut (we Thomas had a jar and some crusts!) and tried to relax after an exhausting day.
I'm glad i didn't arrange anything big for Thomas' birthday because just doing what we did was stressful and hectic, however Thomas enjoyed the day and we did mark the occasion for him!
