Every one year old should have an opportunity to smash a cake right? Today after church we stopped at Publix to pick up a little cake for Grace Lin to demolish. We had gotten her a balloon before on her actual birthday so today she played with balloons and smashed cake. I'm not sure which she preferred more! She chased a non-helium balloon around the room until she caught it and popped it. I would hand her that helium balloon and she would just shake it as hard as she could. When it got away, she would follow it and reach for the string. Some way she pulled the string with her and wrapped it around this chair.
She certainly loved the cake as well. Once she got the hang of the fact that she could put in her hand and come out with lots of sweet goodness, she didn't hesitate. It was fun to watch her work her little fingers into that icing and cake then pull the whole thing to her mouth to see how much she could get in.
Aubrey Mei just kissed the Gracie Lin's picture - she misses her so much and her Mommy really misses all the Lyman family! Aubrey wishes she was there for some of that yummy cake. So glad to hear that Carter had a great Halloween! Love the picture of all the kids watching Charlie Brown - you have a beautiful family. Hope to talk to you soon. Thanks again for being there for me and my little girl in China --will never forget it!!
