Why is Everyone Watching Me Eat This Cake?


Sorry for the late posting again this week. Yesterday Squeaker's extended family was in town to help celebrate her first birthday. For those of you wondering about the composition of the cake, it was angel food with unsweetend homemade icing. We elected to avoid the usual chocolate & sugar overload.

You see, Squeaker is kind of stubborn. I gave her a small slice of squash on Friday night. I was told she couldn't have squash because of the seeds. She didn't like that she couldn't have more squash. She complained about not being able to have more squash. She wouldn't eat anything else until we finally gave her some butternut squash. Squash is not a metaphor in this story. Squash is squash. Woe unto he who gives her chocolate cake and tries to take it away.

Also this week was a visit to the doctor, we found out that she's much taller than the average girl her age. We've been working on her left-handed dribbling skills since then. Squeaker got a clean bill of health from her doctor. All other things being equal the height she's put on is the only data point I need to confirm her health.
