I brought a cupcake home for Aaron today from Jen's baby shower. It was adorable---it looked like a baby. He was so excited to have a cupcake for dessert. He hadn't seen one quite like that before. I said, "look buddy! It's a baby!".
He just stared at it for a minute.
Then he pulled off each decoration---marshmallows, licorice, cheerio, teddy graham---one by one and said, "what that for?".
Each time I said, "it's for decoration, to make the cupcake pretty. you should eat it".
"No", he said and put the item on his plate.
It had to have been the longest amount of time a cupcake has ever lasted on a kid's plate. In the end he took a couple bites and said they were good.
Next time I won't suggest he eat a baby.
