365 to 31~ Day 12

A little back ground. Ty is developmentally delayed. He just started talking recently ( like 3 months recently) and has exploded with his talking. He really likes Mickey Mouse. He has also become very interested in Holidays. Mickey Mouse has a show for pretty much EVERY holiday including birthdays. He has watched a lot of birthday's lately and it was my birthday a few weeks ago.

We want him to have a good birthday this year and be excited about all things birthday. We have to really gear him up for everything and practice and pretend and remind. Today was a "remind us about birthday day." He wanted a cake and I didn't have one. So I compromised and did the best that I could.

So we practice blowing out the candles

We stare at the FABULOUS cake

And wonder how his mom became so clever as to grab a box of ding dongs ( which we NEVER buy) and add birthday candles on the top in which to carry all over the house and into the DMV! GO mom!!
