So I decided to see if I had an undiscovered baking/cake decorating talent and make Emma's first birthday cake! The theme was cupcakes and I found this adorable giant cupcake cake pan at Michael's. So I bought it and then headed home for a practice run! It all seemed pretty easy but it definitely didn't turn out the way I had imagined! So I set it on the counter and thought to myself, "Maybe I will just order a cake!":( Then my little Dylan walked into the kitchen, took one look at my disaster, I mean cake, and in the most sincere voice said,"Awww...Mommy it is beautiful!". Instantly my heart melted and my eyes began to tear up. I bent down gave him a big hug and told him how much I just love him! I had never heard him use the word beautiful before. I wouldn't have been surprised if he said my cake was awesome, since that is the word he uses most to describe anything he likes! But no, he said it was beautiful! It was just the encouragement I needed to want to try again! It is amazing how a small child can uplift you! It is little moments like this that make feel so grateful to be a mommy! I don't know what I would do without my silly little man!
