Today was my birthday, and Alex insisted on helping assist with the celebration. I was a bit wary as I didn't know exactly what dinosaurs did for birthdays.
 |
| This gift seems to have a fish, is it for me? |
We have a tradition in our family that we get to choose our favorite foods for our birthday dinner, and my favorite food is black olives. I insisted Alex try them, and even told him that he could "fish" for them in the can.
 |
| Murky water, good for fishing! |
Being a natural fisher, catching an olive was no difficult task.
 |
| This is a funny looking fish. |
He loved the olives and devoured them eagerly.
 |
| Not like fish at all, but good. |
When it was almost time for cake, Alex disappeared, which got my suspicion up, but he reappeared at a wonderful time - in the middle of the cake!
 |
| Look, a cake, for you! |
I had to explain the tradition of blowing out candles for your birthday and making a wish. He was pretty glad there weren't 26 candles on the cake, he thought that might get a little hot.
 |
| Can I blow it out? |
Then it was time to enjoy cake! I discovered that dinosaurs aren't the neatest ice cream cake eaters. Alex wore nearly as much as he actually ate.
 |
| What do you mean it is on my face? |
After the festivities were over, it was time for Alex to get a bit of a bath to rinse off the delicious cake. He didn't seem to mind, and loved playing in the water.
 |
| Splish, splash, I'm taking a bath |
In case you noticed, in a few of these pictures Alex is standing in a full bipedal pose without his tail or foreleg. He still needs a little renovation, but the blog post of his surgeries will be up soon in case others want to modify their dinosaurs too.
