For a few weeks before his big day, we kept asking what he wanted for his birthday and the only thing he would every say was "An Elmo Cake!" In fact, Jim baked the cake during the day while I was at work and he told me that as he was taking it out of the oven, Daniel just looked up at him with sadness in his eyes and asked, "Where is Elmo?" Jim told him that Mommy would do it when she got home, but he insisted that Elmo needed to be on his cake now. He waited as patiently as a just 3 year old could and as soon as I walked home he reminded me that his cake needed Elmo. He had a lot of fun and was thrilled with the outcome. I wished we had the Elmo cake pan and that I could have spent a bit more time on the cake, but he is 3 and he was so happy with this Elmo, that it really did not matter to him that I did not spend more time or money on it. Thanks for the lesson there buddy.
Of course, he was also excited to eat Elmo. LOL. He had a great time and all of the kids were so good about making it a special day for him. We love you Daniel and I hope you have many more Elmo years to come.
Oh yeah, gotta snitch some more frosting when no one is looking. What can he say, it is sitting there waiting for a finger to run through it.
