Pupcakes

One of the reasons I wanted to do this is to remember all the cute things makena says and does. Sunday night we went to Papa's 70th birthday party. Grandma got a cake, plus 6 cupcakes (I guess in case there were more people than bday cake). Makena and Jay left early, before the cake was cut...and she REALLY likes birthday cake. So grandma gave her a cupcake to take with her. Except she doesn't call them cupcakes...she calls them pupcakes. I don't correct her, frankly, because I think it's cute. So I call them pupcakes, too.

Grandma gave me the rest of the pupcakes so I could take them home to mak. I actually put them in her booster seat when KaNan and I left the restaurant, and forgot to take them in with me. So, when I went to pick up mak, they were still in the car.

When I told her that Grandma sent the pupcakes with me for her, she was a happy girl! she wanted one then. Now, I know how short and tenuous life is, so I've let her have dessert before dinner before...why not? but, I told her that she needed to eat dinner first.

once she finished her pasta, she went right for the pupcakes (I actually forgot about them...but not miss mak!). she was so sweet and offered one to me. she had the pink (natch) and I had the yellow one. I let her lick the icing off mine, too, and I ate the cake. she ate the icing off mine and hers, and left her pupcake. ah, to be four again! :)
