cupcakes

I took the opportunity this morning (since Ryan was home) to spend some one on one time with my little man. I'm a germophobiac (if that is even a word), so I won't take him to public play areas during the flu/cold season. In Caden's world I'm not the play/rough houser anyway - that's Daddy's job.

I thought we could make cupcakes together. I knew we wouldn't get through it without tears from Caden, but we did it anyway. He had one breakdown (because he wanted the open jar of sprinkles), but after some cuddles and some talking by his Mommy he made a quick recovery.

I did let him help stir the batter, but after one fling of the whisk and cake batter everywhere - I took over and gave him some sprinkles to play with.

and it's time to dig in!

We had fun, but I don't think I'll try this again until he is a little older. Too much mess for me!
