No Sugar Yet...Except For....

So I always hold out for the first birthday to give the kids their first taste of sugar when they have their birthday cake. With Josiah, it really probably was his first taste of sugar of any kind - I mean ANY kind. Jacob and Callie probably have tasted sugar in some forms, but nothing REAL - like cake, cookies, etc. Actually no - Jacob had an ice cream cone before he was a year. I remember because he DEVOURED it - the cone and all. We were at Dairy Queen with my Mom and I couldn't resist - it was TUTU after all!! Okay, I digress. Back to Callie. I was talking to my Mom this last week about how fun it was going to be to see what Callie does with her cake this week seeing as how it will be her first taste of sugar. I was cleaning up dinner dishes at the time, and Callie had just eaten a PLATEFUL of sweet potato casserole and honey baked ham!! I died laughing - there's probably more sugar in those things than a piece of cake! Oh well...

I'm sure she will dive in to that cake, afterall, she has been watching those big brothers. I don't see her reacting the same way sweet Hamilton did with that piercing scream! Can't wait!

I know I cringed when Alayna had her first lollipop at 1 and it was out of sheer desperation to keep her still. I guess I'll miss Callie's first indulgent moment.

On another note reading about the ham and sweet potato casserole....would you know that Sunday afternoon I made a ham and and my first sweet potato casserole and I also made your cheese and mac. I just thought it was funny that we made the same 2 things on the same day I think!!!
