The Waiting is the Hardest Part...

When Tyler woke up from his nap Thursday, he found his birthday cake waiting patiently to be eaten at the impending birthday party after dinner. Tyler found he was NOT nearly as patient as his waiting Pluto cake.

At first he seemed willing to wait.



But quickly realized that two year olds come with little self control. So, cute as he could be, he drew his pointer finger and took that first stab at the edge of the frosting.




Nirvana! He got a little confidence in his deviant ways and soon was hamming it up for the camera as he made his mark on the side of his cake.



The 'damage':



Some friendly onlookers who arrived early for the party:


It was actually an adorable moment and Meemaw and I laughed as he nibbled away. We topped off the afternoon with a mini slice for both boys as they waited for the party to begin.

Last year we had a 'smash cake' session as he turned 1. This year I'm going to fondly remember this moment as Tyler's 'poke the cake' session!
