Today is Corwin’s birthday. He is now seven years old. He didn’t get a large amount of loot this year but he did get two large water guns and a bike, and I expect he’ll haul in a goodly amount of stuff from his party tomorrow at the bowling alley. We should have about 10-12 kids there.
Corwin and Charles went out to play with the new water guns for a while, which they both greatly enjoyed. Charles got a bit wetter than Corwin.
We had some cake after supper. Charles was very excited by this. He was kind of just moping about until Mom said “Charles, would you like some cake?” at which point he turned on. He walked about saying “cake cake cake” in various inflections. Mom pointed out that it was big brother’s birthday so Charles switched to “happy birthday cake!”. He ate all the icing off his first piece and eventually about half the actual cake. Charles liked the cake very much.
Corwin’s party is tomorrow because he had a violin recital tonight. It went well and Corwin played his part in good form. He didn’t appreciate having to dress nicely but even I think it was for the best. Charles, Alice, Grandma and Grandpa all came along.
