happy happy birthday, gus!

After spending three weeks the same age, Gus is once again older than me.




Little Miss J helped me bake and decorate a carrot cake. I committed to holding my tongue and letting her put on as many sprinkles in whatever distribution she saw fit. The fact that she didn't go overboard is probably a testament to my control freakish nature and my constantly telling her to be gentle and not go overboard. This is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes I need to work on just letting my kid be a kid. As you can see, she also helped with candle allocation.


I think my favorite part was that J2 thought the singing and candles were for him. He was clapping with a huge smile on his face and trying to blow out the candles.



Gus's birthday celebration also ended with a specially choreographed dance by our one and only Little Miss J, but if I'm being completely honest, my birthday dance was way better than Gus's. Nevertheless, happiest of birthdays to a most wonderful dad, husband and coworker. We love you so so much!
