Hale's birthday isn't for a few months. He keeps asking, "Is my birthday coming up? When's your birthday? Will there be cake?"
Hale's natural curiosity about birthdays was recently pitched sharply as he was invited to his cousin Erika's 11th birthday party. Quite an honor, as he was to be the only boy. He and Er have a super sweet relationship, and by the time we arrived at the party (a bit late, thanks to my sloppy calendaring skills), his reputation had preceded him.
The second we exited our car, a swarm of excitable girls enveloped Hale with their tweeny energy (a completely charming combination of alarming sophistication and disarming naivete), and BOOM: a mascot was born.
Hale ate it up.
