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
