Cake time!

I think Amiri has been paying attention in school.  At least during the birthday parties, that is.  He has a new favorite game at home.

He uses one of his puzzle boards as a tray, and lays out his wooden blocks on it in neat rows or stacks.  Then he carefully balances the tray and carries it around to each of us, announcing, 'Cake time!  Cake time!  Take a piece of cake and eat it!  Yum!'  And so we dutifully take a piece of cake and pretend-eat it, to much glee on Amiri's part.  Then we remove the blocks from Arram's mouth, since he doesn't grasp the concept of pretend-eating.  And Amiri re-arranges the cake on his tray and starts again, this time singing 'Happy Birthday.'

Remember the delicious soups you made when YOU were 3? Water, dried parsley, salt and pepper. Yum!
