Birthdays for Both of Us!

About a month ago, Joel caught a glimpse of a Spider-Man cake while we were at the grocery store. He was so excited, jumping up and down about it. I pulled the same stunt I do whenever they point out fun stuff they'd like to get for Christmas.

"You like the cake? Okay - we'll put it on your wish list. For your birthday, okay?"

A muted smile spread across his face as he nodded. "k, ma."

This was a month ago. Seriously. We haven't talked about it since.

So the night before his birthday (2/6), when we were tucking him into bed, I asked him, "It's your birthday tomorrow - are you excited?"

Nice going, Mom. Get him all worked up right before bed, right?

lol - but that smile came back, and after 0.2 seconds - he reminded me of my promise.

"Spider-Man Cake!!"

How in the world did he remember? I'll have to remind myself that this one doesn't forget very easily. ;)

He's such a ham, isn't he? Ready to dive into his presents:

Happy 4th Birthday, Little Shit!

And Happy Birthday to your mamma, too!
