Hendrix has grown to expect the inflatable b-day cake that comes out for our birthdays. When I encouraged him in the morning to share happy birthday wishes with Zane, he asked about the cake. So we hurried downstairs to see it.
He lugged it around to different rooms to try plugging it in. He was super proud every time he did it: "I did it!" He named letters showing on the cake and he would break into singing ABCs. He counted the candles and explored pushing on it in places.
As birthday celebrations subsided, we started talking about putting away the cake. Hendrix hugged and kissed it and stated "Bye bye cake. See you soon!"
