We thought this day would never come! I t
hink we were more excited about it than he was. You could just see in his eyes the words "what is going on?" We went to bed fairly late the night before trying to prepa
re things for family that would be coming the next day. I sang Happy Birthday to him at midnight. (He loves to hear me sing.) He smiled and clapped his hands. That is what he does when he hears songs and music. When we woke up, we sang to him again. We spoiled him by giving him his favorite thing... A bath. He played in there for a while. My mom came by and made homemade tortilla's. Deven loves those. We watched Deven's two favorite movie
s Aladdin and Lorenzo's song book. Cory groaned because Deven likes to watch them over and over. I th
ought that was funny. Cory and I said no toys. If you look back a couple of posts you will see why. Both Grandmas forgot, which is ok. We're hypocrites ourselves because we got him a toy too. When it came time to sing and have cake and ice cream, everyone gathered in the livingroom. Grandpa McEwen want to hold him for a bit. Cory announced that every thing was ready and we should blow out the candle. So I went and got him. I said "Come here Baby." Grandpa Mac hates it when I call him t
hat. this picture is him telling me that. It's fun to tease him. Deven had troubles blowing out the candle. He tried. He also tried to grab the flame. It's tradition for the McEwen's to ask how many boy/girlfriends we will/do have if you don't get all the candles blown out at once. We were laughing about that becaus
e the candle wasn't blown out completely when Deven tried blowing. As you can see we gave in and let him eat his cake and ice cream how he wanted to. He got a bath after that (which was ok with him) then straight to sleep! What a great birthday!
So i made them because he rarely asks for anything. Sometimes I hesitate making sweets because I know that Cory will eat them right off the cooling rack, even the cookie dough out of the bowl! That used to make me mad but now it's just cute. At least he likes my cooking. Have I mentioned the "begging wall"? Every time i'm in the kitchen Deven knows that i'm making some kind of food. So he stands at the kitchen/living room/deven 
proof fence and watches me work. some times i'll give him food while he stand there. he did this while i was making cookies. Cory asked if Deven could have one. I had already made some smaller cookies for Deven to eat. and look at the result! it was so cute i had to take some pictures. At least i know that my son loves my cooking too!
