Finally Five
Benjamin enjoyed his big day, even though we didn’t have much planned after having his party yesterday. The highlights of the day include dinner at LeRose Italian Restaurant followed by cake at home.When we arrived at LeRose, Zachary let Luigi and our waitress know it was Benjamin’s big day. When our waitress came to the table and asked him how old he was, he timidly held up his hand with five fingers. She replied, “A whole handful? Wow!” Yes, he can be quite a handful at times -- how appropriate!
It worked out well having three cakes, since we managed to save one entire cake for tonight at home. We did the complete candles and singing routine again for him, and he grinned as we sang to him before he blew out his candles. No worries about the wind or a friend extinguishing them this time.
Of course, he indulged in his cake via his typical fashion -- frosting first. I was surprised that he eventually ate most of the chocolate cake (sans frosting). He definitely knows what’s good though.
