Making a birthday cake

We decided to continue celebrating Ryland's birthday tonight by making a cake. He is very curious every time I bring out the mixer and tonight was no exception. He climbed up the stool and started helping. " Cheesing" with Daddy.
We let Ryland choose the color of the icing, and he chose bright yellow. After we added the coloring, Ryland started spreading the icing on the cake.
Even a 2 year old knows that you can't ice a cake without sampling the icing. Ryland wanted to make sure the icing was just perfect.
Oh no, some icing dropped on the countertop! Ryland was quick to lean over and lick it off. Talk about a child that isn't going to let any icing going to waste.
We were ready to sing Happy Birthday when I realized we didn't have any birthday candles. I improvised with a votive candle, and who would have known the difference. The look on his face as we sang Happy Birthday and told him to blow out the candle, was priceless! He is such a happy little boy, and we are thrilled to have him as a son.
