Happy Birthday Ringo!

5/15/2015

5 Comments

 
Today we celebrate Ringo's birthday (arrival date). But how do you photograph a birthday 
party, which is one of the happiest events in a young child's life, when the boy in 
question has a perpetual frown, and can't ever smile, even if he wanted to?

It's Ringo's birthday, and all the children have arrived at his house for the party.
Holly has brought a special balloon and a lovely gift she's chosen especially for him ....
Picture
Everyone gathers round to watch Ringo open his gifts.
"It's a Rubik's Cube!" he exclaimed.    "I know you really wanted one", she said.
Picture
Ringo was touched that Holly had remembered. He started to play with the cube right away.
Then Leona came in with the beautiful birthday cake she had made.  
Picture
Everyone gathered around to look at the cake.   "Wow, a Dinosaur cake!" 
But Ringo just couldn't leave his Rubik's Cube alone...
Picture
"Now I want to take a picture of just the birthday boy with his cake..."
Picture
"Do you think you could just leave that toy alone for a minute and look at the camera, please?"
Picture
"All righty then. And now for a group picture...."
Picture
"Wow, what a great cake!" said Efreet, who also loved dinosaurs, "I want a slice with a T-rex. I can't wait to taste it!"  The girls started to enjoy a slice of cake, but Ringo continued to be preoccupied with his Rubik's Cube.   "How do I make it go back so each side is just one colour?"
Picture
Ringo got himself a slice of cake, but couldn't take his eyes off his new toy...
Picture
He watched as everyone took a turn trying to 'fix' the Cube.......
but no one could get it back so each side was just one solid colour...
Picture
"Here, let me try", said Holly, and Ringo handed her the Cube....
Picture
A turn here, and a turn there, and soon she had it all good as new....
"Here you go......all fixed".
Picture
Ringo smiled "Thank you!", and thought to himself
 "not only is she super cute, but she's so smart too!"

Happy Birthday, Ringo! What a great party and a terrific cake. It's a fun story and a cute way to work in Ringo's little pout. I just love this little guy.
