We had a "practice" birthday celebration for Benjamin this weekend when my family was in town. My mom made his cake for me as I was attending a conference on Saturday. I wanted a lower-sugar cake and it turned out pretty well! We all sang to Benjamin and he wasn't quite sure what to think of it all. We always sing the traditional birthday song in addition to the Porteguese version of Happy Birthday. Kim, Graham's wife, grew up singing this version and its very festive and fun! Eventually we'll all learn the words:) We all gave him our gifts, which he seemed to love. His response to the monkey was not quite what I had hoped, hopefully he'll warm up to it (I can't blame him, though, he's pretty funny looking). Benjamin officially turns 1 tomorrow...I have been thinking back to this time last year and remembering my labor/birth experience. I think mothers should be celebrated, too, on their children's birthdays since we are the major players in the birth process, yes?
