Birthday Cake on a Friday

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts Food Trip Friday

This week has been a busy time for me. Tiger girl celebrated her 2nd birthday in school and wanted a cake which had all her favourite characters on it. I decided to make a cake with Pororo, Hello Kitty and Angry bird. The cake was baked the day before and decorated on her birthday itself. It took me about 3 hours to model the figurines out of fondant on her birthday itself.

The smile on her face and sparkles in her eyes were enough proof that she loved the cake. She couldn’t wait to cut it when I took it out from the box.

This year we managed to get a family photo celebrating her birthday. Last year R was away on business trip and could not be around to take photos with her on her birthday.

The cake looked small but it was big enough to share with all her schoolmates who were present that day.

Tiger girl really enjoyed eating her cake as much as I enjoyed baking it for her.

How did you celebrate your kids birthday this year?

Writer’s Workshop: Not Quite A Baby Now

Tiger girl

Yesterday we celebrated Tiger girl’s 2nd birthday. I baked a cake and decorated it with her favourite cartoon characters- Pororo, Hello Kitty and Angry Bird.

Time really passes so fast. My little girl is no longer a helpless baby but an active toddler with her own mind. It was only last year when we celebrated her 1st birthday and now she is 2!!

Tiger girl's 1st birthday

The world has opened up much more to her at 2 yrs old as compared to when she was 1. She is more aware of her surroundings and knows what she wants. It is not as easy to hoodwink her as compared to before as she has hone her questioning and reasoning skills a lot in the past year.

She now knows that cartoon characters live in TV land and that real penguins do not talk or fly airplanes like Pororo does. She is also able to verbalize and carry out a two way conversation with me. Gone are the days where I could only carry out 1 way conversations and had to do every little thing for her. She knows does everything independently and even offers to help around the house with her elder brothers.
