Today was Arno's 5th birthday, which seems like a pretty big milestone in childhood. He loved his presents, especially 2 Star Wars Lego sets from my mother and stepfather and a motorized build-it-yourself dinosaur from Lucinda. And he loved his gingerbread cake (served with cinnamon whipped cream), which is suitably sugar-free for me to take to his school tomorrow. A party at home w/his friends will happen in 2 weeks.
Lucinda was less than thrilled about Arno's birthday but she rallied for her own achievement today: She really learned how to ride a bike! Last summer she could pedal if Blaine ran alongside to get her started, and so far this fall, she'd resisted riding at all. But today, Blaine suggested that she give it a try - and she was off in a flash. Then she went around the block about 20 times, no problem.

Happy birthday Arno!!
And yum, gingerbread cake! What is your recipe?
It's a mix I found here: Bob's Red Mill gingerbread. American company, http://www.bobsredmill.com/
But I think the gingerbread, which is made w/molasses and brown sugar, might have been discontinued. The store here stopped selling it (I bought it last summer.) and it no longer appears on the website. It was the perfect no-sugar cake for Arno's school. Alas.
