Ses, I used the top tier of our wedding cake for DS 1st birthday cake, as we haven't had him christened. Its normal to take the old icing off, give the cake a little 'drink' (pref alcoholic! but I think there are other options, like fruit juice? might be making that up... Brandy it is!), then re-ice it.
DS was re-iced with white icing and had a little pair of blue bootees and a blue rocking horse on it. We put it in front of him to look at the candle and he grabbed a bootee and ate it! It was very funny and quite sweet - at least it was his cake! Could have been embarassing if it had been meant for another child!
Am feeling lousy today, after yet another bad nights sleep. With DS, I was happy being pg all the way to the end and never got any of those impatient "get this baby out of me" feelings that loads of people seem to mention - but this time, blimey! I can't believe I've still got 9 weeks to go to the EDD.
And whilst I'm on for a whinge....
I'm bored of playing with play-doh!
Am trapped inside till tesco direct deliver a new blind for DS bedroom. Think I'll have a nap with DS after his lunch to try and catch up a bit, otherwise DH is likely to cop a load of my stress later too...
