When Jason asked him how old he was he said, "I'm two." Jason tried to explain that he was 3 but Z wouldn't hear any of it, because in his mind you can't be 3 until you blow out your candle, eat your cake and people sing to you. Jason had a birthday donut with him for breakfast but that just didn't cut it!
When K got up I asked Z to tell her what today was. His response, "It's your birthday!" Not quite.
K and I made Z a little birthday surprise, see picture below.
I can explain! If I make cupcakes (which I will be doing for the "big" party) I WILL eat them! I have a horrible sweet tooth. So this way Z had a "cupcake" to eat for his birthday and I had something to snack on that was semi-healthy. This reminds me of the another Z funny - he looked in the oven while these "cupcakes" were cooking and said, "those are muffins man." Ha, ha, ha... can't fool him.
Finally on the way home from dinner, Z picked Texas Roadhouse (with only a little bit of encouragement from his daddy) we sang happy birthday to him. He enjoyed it so much that we ended up singing it to him 5 or 6 more times before we got home. At which time we listened to the messages on the answering machine and low-and-behold G'ma Bonnie & G'pa John had called and were singing his new favorite song. Enjoy this little serenade!
John - aren't you glad I was able to get the end of that on video? American Idol would surely be calling you if you weren't, how old was that again?!

Looks like a good day was had by all!
And the montage was so sweet!
Maybe we'll have to re-think the "Happy Birthday" calls!! It would have sounded better if you had been able to record the whole thing, though - (I hope)! Anyway - it was really fun to see his reaction to our call!! Looks like he had a great REAL birthday - even if he does have to wait 10 days for the big party! Love bmg
