First off, usually Benjamin waits for me in his room to get up in the morning, or he'll crawl in and then pull to stand at the bottom of my bed. But this morning... this is what I woke up to: (video below-may not play on certain devices)
I guess he knows he is five, and it's time to be a big boy!!
Next, we were headed to our speech therapy appointment where we practice feeding and communication skills. Benjamin walked into his own little table and chair... with a cupcake, balloon and some surprise bubbles! (He's waaay into bubbles right now)
We had some major fun with blowing the candle! (You can see Benjamin doing "happy hands" here. (video below)
Then, the second birthday miracle happened and this one is a big one in our books! Benjamin ATE his cupcake!!!! He's had licks of ice cream and frosting in the past but this is his first birthday eating any cake!!
The bite:

And then my very happy birthday boy: (video below - this is sooo cute. If you can't see this with your iphone, get on a computer! it's worth it!)
What a great day! Huge milestones for my best buddy!! And Ben is working on a special surprise for his 5th birthday party! That'll come in a later blog I'm sure!!
p.s. still lots happening with upcoming fundraisers and garage sales and ideas for Benjamin's service dog. But if you'd like to make a donation online or by check, you can check out our fundraising page here: http://www.razoo.com/story/4-Paws-For-Benjamin-Button
