Happy Birthday Sebastian!

I certainly couldn't buy Sebastian a cake so soon after I had made Audrey's!  Besides, we picked out the yellow cake with chocolate icing when we went to the store.  I had some icing for decorating and sprinkles we picked out weeks ago to decorate cookies.  That was before I realized how much work decorating cookies is.  Especially if Aaron wouldn't help, and Aaron won't help me decorate cookies if I use the secret family Christmas cookie recipe for a random activity.  No matter, there are always birthdays!

Obviously, the number 4 was prominently displayed because I think I overshot the first two strokes.  Then, my spiderweb went a little silly.  My decorating skills seem a bit ambitious following the attempt for Audrey, what with the bold number, the web, and the sprinkles after the last debacle.  I thought so too, but the alternative was to free hand the word "Sebastian" and that wasn't going to happen.

Let's just be honest: I totally rocked this cake.

And the birthday went over rather well.  He got two Rescue Bots - Boulder and Blades - which brings his total to three.  He kept noting the absence of Heatwave the firetruck, which was not cool.  He got another $5, so he plans to get to the store to buy Heatwave.  He spent the day slamming the robots into things, running around with a big shirt and no pants on and choosing macaroni and cheese for every meal.  Sounds like my kind of day!  Audrey's not too interested in the Rescue Bots, so she did not appreciate a day when she couldn't cry her way into changing to Diego or Daniel Tiger.  Whatever, she got cake at the end of it.

I forget how chill Sebastian is: if you give him a day to do whatever he wants, he picks hanging out.  He demanded balloons and craziness on Audrey's birthday, but on his, there were few demands.  Just cartoons and toys and a plain old Duncan Hines cake with some extra icing.  He called family, obliged some phone conversations, but then went back to Wolling to the Wescue with the Wescue Bots.   My kind of guy.

Happy 4th birthday, Sebastian!
