Iko had a party at their house. He was very happy with his Cars Birthday cake. He wanted to get the cars and play with them even if he hasn’t blown the candle yet. He kept on tasting the icing, dipping his fingers on the cake, we had to cover it with cookies. 
His advanced birthday gift was a bike. Bought the week earlier when Chalo was here. He was so excited when we told him we’re buying him a bike. When we reached the toy store and he eventually tried to ride a bike. He discovered he doesn’t know how to ride it, as if changing his mind, he said it was too big for him. “Laki Bike!” But the next day, he realized he really wanted a bike, so we got him one.
Bought him a fish also. We asked him what will be the name and he thought for a while and said, “Fish!” He was so amazed and kept on watching the red fighting fish in its little aquarium.
We brought him to the zoo the next day. So fascinated with the animals especially with the white tiger. We all laughed when he said he wanted to buy the tiger, “Bili, Tiger!”
At dinner, he was so happy when we asked the restaurant crew to sing to him the birthday song. He blew his birthday candle with all smiles on his face.
People often see us with him in different places, or see our pictures with him and they ask, who's baby is he, is he ours? my sisters'? Avoiding too many explanations that he isn't blood relative, I just smile and say, he's our baby. Honestly, I am glad that he grew a year older and we haven’t lost him. He will always be our baby.
