I Can't Believe ...

that it has been 45 years ago today since Big T was born!  Now he himself is a father.


With two young ones of his own: Prince Tyger and Prince Attani.


We travelled to Washington, DC last weekend for an early birthday celebration because Big T has now returned to the "official" workplace after spending several months as a house-husband-father which means that the five-day work week is quite busy.  The home stay was a good experiment for all concerned.

And Big T finds his return to the workplace calm in comparison to the hubbub at home. 

For his birthday dinner, we had prepared a chicken cous-cous.  After dinner, well, let's just say that Prince Tyger believes that it is HIS duty to blow out birthday candles, whether it is actually HIS birthday or not.  I foresee trouble when Prince Attani decides that HE should have the same duty.  For the moment, however, that "conflict" is deferred to the future.

To help Prince Tyger, whose little lungs have not quite attained their full potential - even though it might seem that way at times - in this task, Sweet Momma H set five candles on as many cupcakes - one candle for each decade - with a rounding up to the fifth.


Prince Tyger prepares for the Big Moment.


He waits patiently for the so-called "adults" to complete the Birthday Song and then performs his duty with gusto - and to much applause.
