Caroline's Party

The 1st birthday is all about the cake... it's the main event... the moment all eyes are on baby just waiting to see the reaction & the mess. Being a health concious mommy & not wanting to give my daughter a tummy ache, I decided to make her a strawberry short cake. Well, the "rising action" of the night was the moment I placed the cake in front of her. Caroline "dove" right in... We watched her eat it very delicately as if to not mess up her cute cake. Needless to say, she gave us no climax. The whipping cream wasn't spread from ear to ear nor was it in her hair or lap. She was SO careful as she ate each little bite. It wasn't the typical "attack & devour" we were anticipating. There really was no mess for me to clean up afterwards either which was pretty surprising since lunch time & dinnertime she makes wild food fiascos! She ate a very good portion of her cake, she was proper & she was a lady.
