Yesterday was Dave’s birthday and, like always, he requested an eclair cake instead of a traditional birthday cake.

Adam helped me decorate the cake with teddy bear shaped graham crackers. I figured it would be less messy than sprinkles.

It didn’t take Adam long to start sampling the cake. After a fingerful of frosting he turned to me and said, “Mommy! This is delicious!”

In the end the cake looked like a sea of half-drowned teddy bears.

Dave didn’t seem to mind the fingerprints or missing frosting.

Despite its appearance, the cake still tasted really good.

Adam couldn’t wait to give Dave the gifts he picked out for him. The two of us went shopping and I let him decide what Dave would like most. In case you’re wondering Dave got a Disney nursery rhyme book, a penguin book, a bottle of Mickey Mouse bubbles, a CD of children’s music, and some chocolate peanut butter eggs.

Adam couldn’t wait to open all of his, I mean Dave’s, new things.
