I recently wrote about the little incident where Ellie blew out the candles on James' birthday cupcake, well today we had a small party for James and the kids took the rivalry up a notch.
We got him a Thomas the Tank Engine cake and he was warning Ellie all day not to blow out his candles. When we gathered around to sing "Happy Birthday" Ellie was standing right next to him. What happened next will be Ramsey family legend from this day on.
The photo series illustrates what happened pretty well. In the first photo you can see that Ellie is already annoying James by touching his ear. In the second you can see James trying to fend her off as she starts to lean forward. Lastly, you can see her blowing out the candles.
I guess that was the last straw. Rather than let his sister steal his thunder, he reached out and smashed the remaining lit candle with his hand.
As you can imagine, this created quite a scene. James immediately burst out crying and no one was sure whether he has burned himself or was just upset because his hand was covered with blue frosting.
My cousin Karen grabbed him and brought him to the kitchen sink and ran cold water over his hand. Fortunately, he wasn't hurt but was just angry that his sister had blown out his candles. We relit the candles and gave him a second chance, keeping Ellie far away.
Ironically, he couldn't blow hard enough to blow out the candles himself so I had to discreetly lean around him and get the last one. Thank God he didn't notice.
