My little cake fiend

Xavier has discovered cake in a big way! You might remember it was Joel's birthday back in Aug when Xav was sick. We weren't able to go out and celebrate so we had a little dinner at home and I made a mud cake. My little miserable boy who at that time was eating like a bird, decided the cake tasted pretty good. It was good to see him eating something so I didn't mind at all that it was full of sugar and butter. You have to have fun at a birthday party right??!!

Today I made a chocolate cake for my SIL birthday dinner. We went over for Thai food and I offered to make the cake and bring it along, even though she is a fabulous cake baker and I am pretty mediocre, because I don't think anyone should have to make their own birthday cake! As I was putting the icing on the cake Xavier spotted it and realised what it was. I guess he was remembering that it was the same yummy stuff that he ate when Daddy had a birthday not too long ago. He was dying to have a bite and hung off my leg while I iced the cake. He tried to reach up and grab at the cake several times and when I tried to divert his attention to something else he threw a huge tantrum. I even got Joel to make him a sandwich in case he may have just been hungry. He pushed the sandwich away and went straight back to where I was icing the cake, sat on the floor at my feet, and howled.

Later that night at my SIL house we finished dinner and finally it was time for cake. My little boy's face lit up when the cake was brought out and he was finally allowed to have a piece. He ate every last crumb with a look of ecstasy on his face. It was hilarious. I guess I have a little sweet tooth on my hands!

PS> I have updated Xavier's pic on my blog just to the right of this post. He is growing up so fast!

Have a great week all! xoxoxoxo

Surgery has been postponed

Xavier is still quite unwell. His sores are gone but last Fri he started having high fevers and we ended up back at the doctor surgery. The doctor said that he now also has an ear infection. So for a few days we had sores and an ear infection to cope with, but now thankfully we are minus those horrible sores, thankyou Lord!! lol
Xav is having to take a course of oral antibiotics now for the ear, and as a result his surgery has been postponed until September 29. My poor little man is feeling quite unwell indeed and I am taking him back to the doctors for the third time tomorrow as he was quite miserable this afternoon and started running a slight fever again. I rang the doctor to try to get an app tonight but they were solidly booked so we are going in the morning.

Don't have heaps of energy to type a lot tonight so I'll sign off here, thanks so much for the comments and prayers. Love to all of you xoxoxo
