A had his fourth birthday yesterday. I made cupcakes for his class at school (chocolate, with chocolate frosting of course) and a yellow cake for us to celebrate with at home.
This is the first year he's really GOTTEN what a birthday is. At all prior birthdays (his and others) he really enjoyed the cake part, but never got unwrapping presents or the song, or anything else. Likewise with blowing out the candles. This year is different.
Thanks to the VeggieTales video "The Ballad of Little Joe", A knows that for your birthday, you have cake, blow out candles, get a song and a present, and wear party hats. I searched for a very long time for a party hat; November must be a big time for birthdays, because most places were out. I FINALLY found some at the Hallmark store ~ they're a little small, they're supposed to be tie-ons for presents. But I re-ribboned those suckers so he'd have hats, like he asked for.
He got pizza, Dr. Pepper (which he was really excited about, he normally has one sip and that's all ~ he got his OWN CUP this time. Woo hoo!), and cake.
