Celebrating birthdays


Posted at 4:51 pm

Pete and I celebrated Dash's 6th birthday over the weekend.

This was our first formal birthday party with friends and kids from Dash's kindergarten class and their parents. We were glad we waited. Dash was old enough to handle the crowd, did pretty good with saying thank-you (with some coaching) and didn't shy away from being the center of attention during the birthday song.

He'd been to other parties and he obviously had picked up some pointers.

We had a great time at 3-2-1 Bounce (I highly recommend it), ate a delicious cake from Karl's Bakery in Everett (they did a wonderful job accommodating my request for a tractor picture and placement of a Pez dispenser) and made the happy realization that though Dash is growing up, he still likes to play with Legos.

I share this They Might Be Giants video with you. The first song is about “Nine Bowls of Soup” – very fun – and the second song is about John getting old.

Enjoy.
