Marshal had a birthday! We decided to invite all of the people ( that lived in the neighborhood) that he talks about all the time. I made cupcakes, and tried to make little trains to go on top...after one that looked like very melted snowman, I decided to write his name on them instead. The gel I bought was a dirty trick, cause it was actually just food die in gel form, not gel frosting for writing with....so everyone, not just the cute little kids, we're talking everyone including the sweet little couple from down the road...had crazy stained teeth and lips. Marshal had a good brithday, loved getting presents, and even went to bed singing "happy birthday to Marshal". with each toy he has been playing with this week, he somehow remembers who it's from and he'll say, for instance, when he's playing with the monster truck " thanks Gloria, thanks Kelli" or with his mini loader " thanks Ina, thanks tinker".
