He’s one year old! Today! Oh my god! I want to write a long post but I am still whacked.
I just had to share that Noah was completely repulsed by the grocery store cake. He could not believe we expected him to eat that… thing. We didn’t try ice cream, which I suspect would have had a better reception. I saved that for lunch today, his real birthday. :-) (I have nothing against ice cream in small quantities, provided it’s a good kind.)
I’m sure there’s a real life lesson in that. Somewhere. I just wish I were in my arrogant young twenties so I could think it had to do with all the wholesome whole foods he’s been fed this year, but I’m old enough to know that like sleep and temperment, it’s probably just more about where he was at yesterday.
And I still am sort of obliquely proud. Perhaps next year we will have the carrot cake.
He had grapes (all cut up, don’t you worry) for the first time though and he was in ecstasy.
I do have a really easy recipe for zucinni bread, I just use applesuace in place of sugar and you could forgo the nuts. Let me know if you want, k.
Happy Birthday to Noah!
About the birthday cake dilemma: I don’t know if they have this in Canada, here in Party stores, even supermarkets, they often have this sugar picture of “said” superhero to place on a homemade cake. Also the Party stores have the litttle plastic heros for on cakes. The boys here wouldn’t do carrot cake, but we did use an organic white cake mix. The son’s liked the cake to be swirled with color and we were able to find vegan food colors.
Happy Birthday to Noah!
You really have no idea how much joy these last 2 entries put in my heart. I’m so very happy for all of you!!!!
Happy belated birthday!
