My Sugar Baby
Mary Clare LOVES sweets! I know that this is probably true for most children, but when I say she really LOVES them, I mean it. She REALLY LOVES sweets! She would gladly pass up just about anything for a sucker, and when she sees anything that resembles a candy wrapper, she goes nuts, nodding her head, grunting, signing for “more,” anything to get that sugar!! A friend of ours made Halloween cupcakes for the girls and Mary Clare got so far as to catch a glimpse of them on my console in the car and she had to have one immediately. So to avoid a complete melt-down in the car, I let her have it. Let Halloween begin! She had orange icing everywhere in my car, on her car seat, on her, in her, everywhere! What a mess, but what fun!
Here she is at home. The orange icing was completely dried and hardened on her face by this point. I should have taken a photo of the mess in my car!
Rubbing it into my chair…at least I’ll never forget the Orange Halloween Cupcake!

I kid you not, Bose is my sugar baby, too. If I’m sneaking a Hershey’s Kiss he hears me opening it from the other room and comes a runnin’. I probably would have prevented a melt-down in the car, too so giving into MC’s extreme desire for that cupcake is okay (hee hee).
