If you look at a child covered in chocolate cake and get scatalogical images then I'm afraid you quite possibly need help to deal with your anal retentive behaviour!
My daughter has wore a headband three times in her life and three times it never lasted more than 3-5 minutes and then it was abandoned. She doesn't like them so I don't force it.
This was her first ever birthday cake and both my kids rarely get sweets or gifts and I spent no where near £100 on the whole thing £40 for the whole lot, outfit, cake, shoot and pictures.
I'm not wasteful, yes I wasted a perfectly good £3 birthday cake but it doesn't happen otherwise. We are very waste savvy in my house and we recycle as well as compost.
We are not chavs in the slightest.
Geez the judgement on this is unreal!
Do you know what I think is chavvy?
Buying yourself booze, fags, drugs, clothes, nights out ahead of your kids needs. I also find swapping prams and buying new ones every two minutes very chavvy. I don't like babies in track suits.
You have your views and I have mine. We all had a fantastically amazing time with this shoot considering it was only the 2nd time her paternal grandmother seen her too, so it was an amazing family experience.
We also had a full family shoot done too.
She is not a fussy eater and people praise her on her eating habits because she is fantastic with her manners and cutlery so that ONE cake smash hardly had an impact on her behaviour!
