Mmm, refined sugar.

Happy first birthday, Arram!  (OK, his birthday was yesterday, but he doesn't know that.  We wanted to take our time for Cake Day.)

The candle was pretty fascinating and we had to drag him away from the danger.  Amiri helped by blowing it out for him.

Initial indications were that birthday parties are no fun.
(Remember that photo of him YELLING when he was about a 
minute old?  Flash forward a year... )

But then his big brother showed him the ropes.  Big brothers are helpful like that.

So, OK, after some frosting-coated coaxing from Mama he figures he'll be a sport and try a taste on his own.

Hey, that's not bad.  Not bad at all.

He was even a big boy, using a fork and drinking his milk from a big cup.

The cake ended up a wreck (as intended).   The boys got two baths apiece--the first for removing crumbs, the second for actual cleaning.  It was a good day.
