He was meant to be born on my birthday, but instead decided to come 5 weeks earlier. So when it came to planning my birthday he had really not got over his. He thought that every birthday should be his birthday. When discussing what I would like for my birthday it was him that decided it would be a DINOSAUR PARTY. I figured that whatever would \u00a0make him happy, would make me happy. Therefore, my wonderful husband organised one for me. I actually think it helped him cope with the whole birthday thing too (there were a lot going on at preschool in the run up to mine too &#8211; he was very confused).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/dinosaur_balloon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12512\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/dinosaur_balloon-300x273.jpg?resize=300%2C273\" alt=\"dinosaur_balloon\" width=\"300\" height=\"273\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There were dinosaur balloons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/dinosaur_hat.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/dinosaur_hat-184x300.jpg?resize=184%2C300\" alt=\"dinosaur_hat\" width=\"184\" height=\"300\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/dinosaur_oddy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/dinosaur_oddy-156x300.jpg?resize=156%2C300\" alt=\"dinosaur_oddy\" width=\"156\" height=\"300\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">And dinosaur hats!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">And he made me chocolate dinosaur cupcakes<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/fruit_dinosaur.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/fruit_dinosaur-300x203.jpg?resize=300%2C203\" alt=\"fruit_dinosaur\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To make it healthy he made a Fruit Dinosaur (excuse the banana &#8211;
