a orange... doon-doon?

Sawyer's birthday today. He had a great day. He gave me a recap when he was getting changed into his pjs this evening:

- blow candles!
- cake!
- pay-do Finn!
- Didney!
- fire truck!
- orange doon-doon!
- happy birtday to me!

translation:
- blow candles! (we had candles this morning, this afternoon on cake, and this evening at dinner - he is fascinated by them.)
- cake! (it turned out great - you'd never guess it was wheat-free, egg-free, although my frosting could use some work)
- pay-do Finn! (after our little party, we stopped by to deliver cake to Finn's older sister and were invited in to do some play-dough)
- Didney! (he adores her, even though she had a cold while visiting today)
- fire truck (he got a fire truck from Uncle Eric and Auntie Marie, as well as a little wood fire truck/ambulance/police car trio this morning)
- orange doon-doon (aka an orange balloon - we hung two green balloons from his doorframe and put balloons on all dining room chairs, and an orange balloon was just floating around
and he played with it quite a bit.

He also talked to grandma and grandpa on the phone and actually talked and sang to them (usually, he just stares at the phone and then gives it a kiss). They got him a very cute letter train that says "Sawyer" - he got to open it first thing this morning and played with it for a long time, forming different "words."
