九 岁了!
I asked Myles what he wanted for his birthday cake. The same as always, he told me. Chocolate with peanut butter icing and his age outlined in M & M's.
I aim to please.
More birthday fun after the jump
It would have been hard to top last year's birthday, with a new guitar and a party on the Great Wall. But of course, that wasn't the point.
All he wanted was his cake and some friends to enjoy it with him.
Earlier in the week we gave him his birthday present from us. He has really been wanting new binoculars, so we made it so.
We also had to get him a book, and this year it was Farmer Boy Goes West, which I bought when we were at the Wilder Homestead this summer and kept well hidden all these months since. For Myles it is a satisfying read, answering his questions about how Almanzo and his family left gorgeous Malone, New York, for the frontier.
I think he was practicing, because every time since his birthday that someone asked him how old he was, he responded without hesitation, "九 岁了!" Jiu sui le, nine years old.
