DJ has figured out a birthday loophole
On a recent special day out, Dylan and I went to get cake and ice cream to soften the blow of a vaccination. After a mouthful of unicorn cake, the very smart, recently turned 4 year old decreed, "Now I'm FIVE years old!"
I thought it was very adorable that he put it together that eating cake made him older.
No, no, it's only very special birthday cake that makes you older! It's the candle and the wish! You're still 4, I told him.
Weeks later, during our pillow talk tonight, Dylan said that he wanted to go back to the cake place and have more pieces so that he can be 1-8 years old. I think he's remembering that I said he would be a grown up when he's 18. And then he can play all the naughty video games he wants.
For now, he told me, I'm going to be 12. I think he also want to be older than his brothers.
It's really too sweet to dispel the magical idea of cake making him older. But for that reason, I might not give him anymore cake, ever! Stay little, Dylan!
