Adam had a few requests for his birthday. He asked me if he could have a balloon, a cookie cake (“to why I really like cookies mama”), a party hat, and a cupcake. It seemed like a reasonable list of demands so I didn’t mind promising to meet all of them. He was pretty set on those four things, and it wasn’t until a couple of days later that he asked if he could “maybe have a birthday present too”.<\/p>\n

For his birthday dinner we went to his favorite restaurant, The Apple. Some of the waiters clapped and sang to him – he was a big fan of the clapping, but covered his ears when they started to sing.<\/p>\n

When we got home we brought out the balloons, party hats, and cookie cake (he already had his birthday cupcake – or at least the frosting off of a birthday cupcake – after lunch).<\/p>\n

Adam loved his “party”. There were a few near\u00a0catastrophes\u00a0though. Luke refused to wear a party hat and Adam declared that his party was “ruined”. I convinced him that it was okay for Luke not to wear a hat, since he’s just a little guy, and the birthday boy seemed okay with that, “my party is perfect again”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also lost power for several minutes, which led to Adam saying, “oh no, my party ruined again”. Once the lights came back on it was all perfect again though.<\/p>\n

And there were presents too. His big gift was a new bike. His favorite gift was a thirty-five cent magnifying glass.<\/p>\n
