Yes, celebrating half birthdays is ridiculous. But since Booker and Ike have half birthdays in the same month it seemed like a good excuse to buy an ice cream cake, eat half of it and save the other half for a few weeks.
We also sang "Halfty Birthday"and gave Booker a six pack of bottled root beer. He loved it. He even slept with all six sodas in his bed that night. Starting new traditions can be fun, as long as you keep it simple!
