As simple and casual as it was, it did not suggest an ordinary celebration. This was the first birthday that Simon did not care more about the paper wrapping than the gift inside. It was the first birthday that he actually wanted to eat his cake! It was the first birthday that he was fixated on keeping the candles unlit! Happy Birthday, Simon. We all love you very much.
So sweet! Funny how the things we take for granted (like of course we would eat cake someone puts in front of us) our wee babies have to grow into!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo at the top of the page- it evokes photos of from the 1950's.
