Let Him Eat CAKE!!

Asher had two cakes for his birthday. One on his actual day of birth, with white icing, and another on the party day with blue and purple icing. Don't ask me what possess people to buy this type of colored frosting. It's pretty much guaranteed that your child will end up looking like an LSD trip by the end of the party. Yet, that's what I bought. I let him smash cake, took lots of pictures, and then promptly stripped him down in the highchair before I stuck him in the tub. There was cake everywhere, including down his diaper. So I took that off too before I carried him (at a very far arm's length away) upstairs. Let me veer off a little from this story........

Several months ago, Asher "found" his penis.....and by that I mean, every time he's naked, he grabs on to it for dear life and giggles. As a mom, and a woman, I SO do not understand this. When he first did it, I said, "Oh Asher, don't do that. You'll hurt yourself". Well, Blake almost immediately informed me how wrong I was. Honestly, how they walk around with those things is just beyond me. It's like learning a new language - Penis culture 101.

ok - back to the story..... So, I was carrying him upstairs, and he's hanging on to his most valuable possession for dear life, and I'm just trying not to get peed on. I plop him in the tub, and start hosing him down before the frosting has a chance to dry. It was then that Asher noticed the purple icing on his penis, and cake smashed all around his legs. Yup, you guessed it....he immediately bent over and started licking EVERYTHING that he could possible reach - if all men could do this, then they wouldn't leave the house. Ok, so I'm thinking that this really is not ok. Wash faster. Quick. Someone is coming up the stairs. Good God woman! What kind of mother are you????

Anyway. He's one. He loves his penis. Welcome to the tribe of man.
