Your eyes sparkled everytime you saw that yellow little thing with orange beak on the diaper caddy…
Your third word was “du..dda” and you blushed with excitement everytime you got it right….
You woke up from nap saying “du..dda” and you had the winning smile again that melted my heart ….
I wanted to see that same twinkle in your eyes and blush on your cheeks one more time last week when we were getting ready to celebrate our 365 days of happiness with you….
Challenging my own skills, I tried to make a replica of your favourite yellow bath toy with orange beak but at the end of it I was in the depth of despair, looking at the shapeless object that was not even close to what I had envisioned…..
And then your eyes fell on that yellow little thing I created........ you looked at it and said “ du..DDa..” and you said it again……..and two seconds later, your head fell on my chest with a blush, with a smile……………………!!!
My precious sweet little pea, I was beaming with joy, shouting with excitement ……you brought sparkle in my eyes …….you melted my heart one more time ……!
Awww...what a nice post! Happy Birthday to the little one and congrats to the proud parents for one year of successful parenting!
ReplyDeleteAnd you ought to give yourself lot more credit than that, lady! That ducky looks perfect! :)
(I have a 7 month old little pea and I am secretly harboring the dreams of baking her first b'day cake myself, but I think I will stick to a safe chocolate cake :D)

Anon, yeah u re right, i felt the same too...had more plans..but after a hectic few days and a couple of food related mishaps, with the energy and time I had that night, CJJ easily convinced me to change my plans and go for the simplest.. yet i do feel i should 've added more colour to the fondant but was scared to do so, as i was working in room light ,quite late at night..thx for being very honest :) I hope I would be more organised next year!:)

But with all my due respect, please give credit to this girl who has baked a beautiful home made cake decorated with something he loves, for her son's 1st B'day.
The cake looks wonderful and her son loved it, I am sure. Period.
