Because he's the fifth and his birthday is close to Cinco de Mayo, it has become a tradition to make a pinata for Liam's birthday. This year's pinata was a fish because Liam got his first pet from his Aunt Sarah and cousin Maddie, a little goldfish named "Sethy-poo." (Named for my brother.) Built for looks and not for strength, this pinata fell off the rope before anyone even got a swing in, so we ended up tying it upside-down by its tail. It worked great and the kids loved it.
