So, desserts are my thing, right? I mean, I love to eat them. I was trying to plan Daniel's cake, because you gotta have cake at a birthday party, but I knew he wouldn't eat it. So, I thought of alternative desserts, but the problem is, Daniel really isn't into dessert. Cookies, pie, pudding - they don't really do it for him, and he may take a bite of ours, but he doesn't run for them. He likes fig newtons. He may have enjoyed a couple while running around at the party, but I didn't think want to go that route. So, I decided to make something for the rest of us, which did turn out nice, but I feel kinda bad now. Daniel didn't even take one bite of the peppermint ice cream cake. I had candy, which Daniel had his fair share of, but when we blew out his candle, he didn't want to stay at the high chair and eat ice cream cake, so he got down and ran around. Another blunder: I didn't have any candles except the numbers 1, 3, and 0. Good one, Hannah. So, he had a number 1 candle to blow out, which is why I didn't post any pictures of that part. Next time, we'll skip the high chair and try REALLY hard to find a dessert that Daniel might take a couple of bites of in front of a crowd. The party was pretty fun, though, and I guess we're still learning, right?!
