In William's preschool, they celebrate half birthdays for those who have their birthday during the summer break. Today they celebrated William's half birthday. He is 4 and a half.
誕生日の子が家からカップケーキとかおやつをみんなの分持っていき(ということで写真はないけど昨日カップケーキを作りました),幼稚園ではバースデーの冠をかぶって,先生からプレゼントをもらったり,バースデーソングを歌ってもらったり,楽しい時間があったようです。
The birthday person brings cupcakes/cakes, etc from home for everyone to have for a snack, so I made cupcakes yesterday. At preschool, he got a birthday crown, got a gift from his teacher, everybody sang a birthday song for him, etc. He had a great time.
ところで作ったカップケーキだけど,手作りしないでお店で売ってるチョコケーキミックスの箱を買ってきて作ったものに,市販の甘くてまずい(と思う)フロスティングを塗って粒カラーチョコを乗せたもの。甘すぎて自分ではまったく食べる気にならないけれど,ウィリアムは迎えに行った車の中で「おかあさんのフロスティングおいしかった」と言うし,先生にもおいしかったと言われ,なんとも複雑な気分。ウィリアムは完璧アメリカ人の甘いもの好き嗜好だな。。。
By the way, I normally make them from scratch, but this time I just use a cake mix from the store and put store bought frosting as well. They weren't the best cupcakes at all (I wouldn't dare eat them for they are too sweet for him), but William's teacher told me that the cupcake was yummy. William also told me in the car on the way home that the frosting was so good. I'm glad everyone seemed to like the cupcakes, but get kind of disgusted how people love sugary stuff. William totally has a sweet tooth...
