We had BBQ from KT's, a Costco chocolate cake to share, all sorts of food brought from friends, and I made you had a homemade smash cake. A water slide was put up and kids bounced around in that all afternoon. Dads and I ran around greeting people while you got passed from friend to friend who wanted to wish you a happy birthday. Talon, time after time, we fall more in love with you. You are just so cool, so roll-with-it. When it was cake time, we gathered in their garage and stripped you down to just your "Birthday Boy" onesie. We sang to you and when everyone sang, "dear Talon", your eyes lit up and looked all around in bewilderment. It was like you couldn't believe all those people knew your name! You put your hand on the cake and immediately pulled it away. I realized I didn't leave it out from the fridge long enough to warm to room temperature. The kids started chanting, "EAT IT" and you tried to touch it again but still too cold. The garage was loud with chants but you just took it all in, no cries, no screams, no fear. Dad sat you on TOP of your cake. You kind of wobbled but didn't mind. Soon though you'd had enough of us attempting to get you to eat the cake. A simple arms overhead from and you were back in our laps.
Your official birthday is a week from today. I'll make you another smash cake that will stay at room temperature. Maybe you'll want to get into it more!
