It was Sunday before we were actually able to celebrate Nicholas's birthday. Daniel was convinced that it wasn't time to celebrate, because we had to wait for Friday (because we said all week - "Nicholas will be one on FRIDAY!"), but was excited to eat cake once he saw that cake would be part of the party.
Nicholas thought his cake was pretty interesting, but then we brought out his cupcake with a candle. That kid is going to burn the house down some day. As soon as he saw the candle he lunged for it, trying to grab at the flame. This is quite similar to how he behaved at his baptism when he tried to leap out of daddy's arms to grab his baptismal candle and the light of Christ. Luckily, mommy is pretty quick, so we were able to prevent major injuries.
We set Nicholas up in Daniel's usual seat with the big kids on either side. When the singing started, Nicholas looked swiftly from sister to brother and then seemed to realize that the singing was for HIM.
