Later that evening, we celebrated together as a family. Surprisingly, Kayla did not want to eat a cupcake after dinner. So I told her that Mommy would be very sad because I wanted to celebrate my birthday. Kayla said, "No, my birthday, not yours!" Oh, the irony of it all!! Eventually she complied... I told her that Mommy wanted to blow out a candle on a cupcake and that Kayla didn't have to have one if she didn't want to. Of course, then she wanted her cupcake.
Jocelyn got really excited about the cupcakes too.
Here is Kayla showing us the proper method of cupcake-eating:
And here she is about two hours later, finishing up her cupcake. (Just kidding, maybe it was only 15 minutes later. Regardless, she is a slow poke!)
By this point, Kayla was sitting by herself at the dining table while the rest of us were in the living room. I kept telling her, "Oh Kayla, you have a little bit of icing on your face. Just a little bit!" and then she'd point to a corner of her mouth with a questioning look on her face as if she were asking, "You mean over here?" and I would nod and say, "Yeah, right there!" and she'd lick the tiniest of licks on that corner and then look at me again with another questioning look like, "Did I get it?" and I'd say, "Oh yeah, that's much better!"
I think I did this about three times with her, getting a kick out of it each time I emphasized the part about just having a LITTLE BIT of icing on her face.
