Part of the reason we had Gabe's birthday party outside in the carport was so that we could hose him and the surroundings down after he enjoyed his birthday cake.
It didn't quite come to that, I don't think, but Gabe's first move was to swipe off a glob of extra frosting and "phwap" it down on the concrete.

Note the matching plates, napkins, AND cake. Mommy did a good job making the cake.

"I want 'Gak!' " says the birthday boy.

Digging into his personal birthday cake. Gabe was in diapers, bib, and shoes and socks for the cake-eating so that we could clean up easier.

Eating contentedly.

All gone ... kind of. (He didn't do it then, but recently Gabe signed "All done" to Mommy at the table.)
What a cute cake--and a cute boy! Thanks for sharing the photos.
