. . .And just in time to turn the little Bear four years old.

We had a quiet little cake and coffee party with the local relatives over on Sunday. My wife had cooked cup cakes and made frosting from scratch, but was running out of time to get them all frosted.

So in a flash of creativity she mixed different colors into the frosting, put them in seperate bowls with the sprinkle shakers on the table, and set up a make your own cup cake buffet. It was quite the hit.

Bear had quite a good time. Here's what the little Bear likes:

Cupcakes, but only the frosted top. He leaves the unfrosted bottom on his plate like discarded sandwich crust.

Dinosaurs, Godzilla, and his new inflateable punching bag. We're hoping that last item saves his siblings some torment.

Dirt.

He doesn't like:

Listening to dramatized books on CD. He can hear all the good action but can't figure out why his mom won't turn on the T.V. so he can see the picture that goes with it. He finds this very upsetting.

But he did like his Birthday even though I'm not sure he totaly understands what was being celebrated and why. But heck, when people are shoving treats and presents at you all afternoon, you tend not to ask questions.
