Kato turned one yesterday. Of course, we had a party. Of course, we made another Jell-o cake. Though covered with fruit, it only had to hold one candle. Alden helped me light it (much to Kato’s consternation, apparently).
Kato cheered up once he realized that the cake was his. He asked me if it was ok to do an open mouthed face plant.
I suggested that he start by blowing out the candle. Alden helped.
Once we dispensed with the ceremony, Kato confronted his quarry and systematically worked his way through the five stages of cake-eating.
Contemplation
Testing
Tasting
Advanced Tasting
Mayhem
While Kato abused his cake, the rest of us did the same with slices of our own. Only the faintest sliver remains this morning, and Robbi has already claimed the rest for herself, commenting that “Kato’s birthday is over, Yo.”
I’ll be sure to remind her of this logic the day after her next birthday.












congrats to the little mister!

For flogging the bejezus out of his cake, you mean? He learned from the master. Have you seen his mother go after cake? We need to put down a dropcloth.

Happy one year, Kato.
Robbi, go, yo!
A year already?! Wow…
I want some of that cake. Maybe soon. I might have to make it myself.
Happy birthday Kato! Can’t believe its been a year! He seems to destroy food much like Alden did. Glad they enjoyed it :)
How is it possible that he is a year old already? My how time flies… Happy Birthday, Kato! And nice work on that piece of cake.
