The Captain, on the other hand, seems SO big! All of a sudden, all his size 5s look too small and I had to order enough clothes to get him through the cold season. Grandma gave him some birthday money so he will get to pick out some clothes and maybe a toy. It seems they have so many toys.
I got up this morning and The Blitz said, "Hey, that's a birthday cake!" (Imagine that with a Brooklyn-ish accent. We don't know where his inner New Yorker comes from!) I said, "Yes, guess whose birthday it is?"
The Captain jumped up and yelled, "It's my birthday, mom? Really? I'm 5 now?" This is huge for him. SO much talking. Anyway, here's a peek at the big day so far:
I ordered pizza, everyone's favorite. Then we waited for the cake.
One of us was not a gracious waiter.
This "Dandy Lion" cake was baked and decorated by Pepper. It's a "Cut-Out" cake from the original antique books I got from Mom. We had cut-out cakes when we were kids and my kids have had them too. I better make a copy of those books and store them in a safe place!
Then he blew all the candles out on the first try. He wished for a bat. He didn't know not to tell!
Finally, trying out the bat. (Sorry for the fuzzy video; not sure why it is like that!)
Thanks, Daddy, for coming home on your lunch hour. It's really hard to wait all day when you are only 5!
Awe. Avery turns five soon and I'm not ready. I can't believe they are getting so big.
