Love thy cake.
This might be a brilliant principle to live by when you’re 3. For those who have got to the stage where you’ve added a zero to the end of that number or another higher number, cake intake may need scrutinisation.
My little guy celebrated his 3rd birthday today. I didn’t want to do a post-birth recount here. I’m dedicating this post to him and his love of cake.
Of the 6 kids here there was only one that didn’t bust-a-move to the table where the cake ceremony was about to take place. All the others yelled, ‘CAKE’, and ran like their pants were on fire.
So the candles were blown out without any foofing on the cake (extra tasty bits a.k.a as spit) and a big cheer rang out. I was too busy worrying about the 3 year old with the knife in one hand to concern myself with what the other hand was about to do. The birthday boy decides to grab a handful of icing and stuff it into his cake hole. While this made most erupt in laughter, a few stared agog at the spectacle. This inturn made him think he was funny so he launched in for another handful while I did my best to hold my heffalump back. We did get some great shots of the chubby cheeks with nothing but icing between them.
There were a few refusals from the adults when cake was proffered. Not quite sure if this was due to people watching their waistline or not wanting 3 y.o cooties. Regardless my little guy was definitely not of the 
school of thought, ‘a minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.’
Have your cake and eat it too while you can, kids!
P.S Here’s your really big slice, as promised, Grandma Cranky.
Free Little Words 
Ohhh…nom..nom..nom. Thanks sweetie and give that birthday boy a great big kiss from Grandma Cranky (although my name might put him off a bit)! I’ll enjoy that cake, cooties and all. What’s a little spit between friends?
Great post, my friend.
You’re very welcome. I’ll give him a big smacker in the morning and I’ll be sure to tell him you’re truly lovely-not cranky at all. Thank you for your kind words.
Happy Birthday to the little guy! This picture is making me want cake – so I am going to have to work extra hard in boxing class later – thanks for the inspiration!
Anytime I, or the little one, can help just holler. Maybe think of something irritating to box the bejeebers out of?
Hi again – check out this link – http://words4jp.wordpress.com/2013/03/30/award-doings-6/ Yes, I nominated you again – 🙂
Thank you so much as always. And there I was thinking I was done for this month. Not to worry, it won’t actually get done until April so all is good.
