Bam is seven. I can't see how this is actually possible since it was just yesterday we carried him home from the hospital. But he is big. He is in first grade, vying for "love muffin" status each week in school, reading, doing killer math and channeling the powers and personas of nearly ever superhero in existence. So it is no surprise, really that he chose an Iron Man cake for his birthday. He is the child most believing in my (non-existant) artistic abilities when it comes to cake decoration. I did my best and was just happy he could recognize the Man and that he was happy with the result. Perhaps it's a good thing that he has such a believing heart, because he can always see what he envisioned in the reality I have been able to create.
I think it was a little more difficult this year than most to recognize the subject of the cake. But he's still happy, so we'll go with it.
Bam has a killer smile and a love for all things cuddly, especially pandas. He is still captivating an ever growing collection of grown women, from his teachers, to his friends' moms, to the stylists where we get our hair cut. No one seems immune to that smile.
Happy Birthday big boy! We love you!

I have to laugh. I was there and ate some of that cake and I had NO idea it was an Iron Man cake!! But it tasted good, so that's what matters to me! :) Happy Birthday Bam - Glad we could be there to celebrate this year!
