The Double Digit Birthday

Came and went. If you read a previous post, my son cried about becoming a "double digit" in age one night as he went to bed.

My son requested a yellow butter cake with fudge frosting.
He added decorations, colorful hokey pokies (jimmies) and his Thomas the Tank cake decorations from his 6th birthday.
I added nine candles since he said he always wanted to be nine.

I saw him counting the candles and he let out a big disapproving "HEY!".
I asked him what was wrong.
He said there were only nine candles but he was ten.

I said, "but you said you wanted to be nine forever so I put nine on."
His reply: " I told you Mommy, I am now nine plus one."

I put the tenth candle on. He was happy.

It was a great birthday. He had a jammy day in a storm and we lost power.
Thank god for birthday candles.
I am changing his name to Peter Pan one of these days.
