Cup Cakes with my Sweetie
So I guess I can count this as the beging of number 54 witch is a craft with Dakota once a week for 5 months... if I cant keep up then ill have to start again LOL. Either way Dakota and I made cup cakes tonight and he was such a good helper. I laid Addison down for bed and he kept coming up and asking me if it was time yet. I told him No its wasnt not yet let me finish putting you sister to sleep. I told him to wait in his room and ill be down there shortly..
Well when I went down the stairs he was in his room like I had asked and on the counter was my glass mixing bowl and the egg carton open and ready. He also had put his step stool right there next to the counter. It totally put a smile on my face. He loves doing stuff with me and I love the time we get to spend together. It doesnt seem like we have been doing much of that since I had Addison and Im glad we did tonight.
Anywho here are some pictures....
