Happy Birthday to ME!


Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear meeeeeeee, happy birthday to me. Yup, I made it to see the big 01. I cannot believe how fast time flies...it seems like only yesterday I was forced to leave my warm cocoon to face the cold lights of the delivery room. Ahhh, those were the days. Anyway, here I am with some of my new presents from Mommy and Daddy. I got some garden tools including a rake, shovel, bucket, wheelbarrow and this cool hat, amongst other things. Once again, Mommy is assuming I will enjoy gardening next year.


You know what they say about assuming, Mommy. Yep, it makes me run away. What did you think I was going to say? Sheesh.
My next present is this cool bowl stacker. A split second after this photo was snapped, I used my long armspan to swipe the tower down to the ground. That was satisfying.


Cake again? Gosh, how many times do I have to show off my amazing cake-eating ability? I mean, I know I'm good, but come on. I think Mommy looks much more excited about the cake than me. Mommy, I think it has wheat in it, you can't have any. Sorry.


Fine, I'll try some if I have to, I guess. I got to eat the cake on the red plate. I hear that only happens on special occasions.


Hmm, cakealicious.


Yuck. What is this brown stuff? I thought it was Grandma's tasty black frosting, but no, I was fooled. Chocolate? Who the heck ordered chocolate? I specifically said no chocolate. Who's the manager around here? I refuse to eat this horrible excuse for a cake. Chocolate. Please.

Yes, I know I'm messy. Do you have to get a photo of EVERYTHING? I've had enough of this first birthday thing. Please, give me a bath. Can't you see I am messy and very embarrased about it?

I fooled you! I actually love being messy and the cake was fun to play with. I don't really like eating chocolate cake, but it is a fun art medium. Overall, my birthday was very enjoyable. I hope to do this again in the near future, maybe, say another year or so? Sounds good to me, let's plan on it. I promise, next year I will be more excited about chocolate cake.

PS: Do you like the new design of the blog? Mommy and Daddy (mostly Daddy) put it together last night. It has a new spot for a poll, so be sure to vote!

Happy Birthday Little Guy! Chocolate cake can be an acquired taste, but there are many years ahead to work on that. With your new garden tools, does this mean you will be a more active particpant (outside of supervising) for your Mommy and Daddy's next project? Don't let them work you too hard. Glad you seemed to have such a good Birthday!

Thanks, Auntie Brandy! Yes, I do plan on actively running the garden next year. I will grow rows upon rows of sweet delicious peas. Yummy. Want to come over to enjoy the harvest?

Not liking chocolate must be a Ficek Family trait:)
