Not a Sugar Fan

Yesterday was Carson's 1st birthday. We had a little family party at our house to celebrate. He did pretty good with the gift opening. He seemed a little scared of us when we sang to him. But the biggest surprise of the day was his absolute repulsion of the cake. He didn't want to have anything to do with it. He was very upset about having the sticky stuff on his hands and he got even madder when I tried to put a little of the cake in his mouth.

Usually kids dig into the cake and have a blast chowing down on that first big chance for sugar. Well, not Mr. Carson. The only part of it that did excite him was when we gave him a fork and spoon to use to attack his cake. Even then he wasn't happy when he got cake on his "toys". A little later he managed to try a little of Angela's cake and seemed to enjoy it. So when we got him his own piece again to try he refused. It was the funniest thing.

Here are a few pictures from his big day.

"Get that yucky stuff away from me."

"Hooray for silverware!"

"I do not like cake especially on my fingers or fork!"

Today I am thankful for Carson. He is such a blessing to our family.
