<p>Happy Birthday Z!</p> <p>We had a fun time with the cakes.  Z loves Cheerios so we decorated the little Cheerio shaped cakes with them (used a mini-angel food cake pan to bake the O shape).  Z recognized them immediately and actually didn&rsquo;t eat much cake as a result. John noticed that after Z had eaten some amount of the Cheerios, he screwed up his face as if to say &ldquo;wow, this sugar stuff is potent!&quot;  And so it begins.  </p> <p>And he didn&rsquo;t pinch out the candle!  But I did hold his arms just a wee bit, especially as he reached for the flame (just as John and I were blowing it out).</p>

Happy Birthday Z!

We had a fun time with the cakes.  Z loves Cheerios so we decorated the little Cheerio shaped cakes with them (used a mini-angel food cake pan to bake the O shape).  Z recognized them immediately and actually didn’t eat much cake as a result. John noticed that after Z had eaten some amount of the Cheerios, he screwed up his face as if to say “wow, this sugar stuff is potent!"  And so it begins. 

And he didn’t pinch out the candle!  But I did hold his arms just a wee bit, especially as he reached for the flame (just as John and I were blowing it out).
