This toddler just turned two, and to mark the occasion, he was presented with a cupcake with a single candle in the middle. After his family finished singing “Happy Birthday” he excitedly went to blow out the candle — but struggled. Hard.
He tries and tries, then pauses to stare at the flame in trepidation, and then continues to try and try and try. You’ll hear a girl, likely his sister, start to get impatient, crying out, “Do it!”
Eventually, he changes his technique and finally completes his task. He keeps a great attitude the whole way, and smiles proudly when he finally extinguishes the flame. After all, this is only the second time in his life he’s had to do this.
