I think it’s fair to say that kids like to make a mess, in fact they revel in such activities. The parents are usually less enthusiastic and impressed by this and normally tries to put a stop to it. However when it comes to birthday parties the rules might change…
There is a certain pleasure in watching a kid (someone else’s!) really dig into a piece of cake with no holds barred, and with no concern. After all, if a one-year old baby chooses to dig both hands into her birthday cake then so be it – it’s her party and she can make a mess if she wants!
This is a good time for Mom to gracefully accept defeat, step aside, and let Little One enjoy the party.
It’s MY party and I can mess if I want!
The birthday cake – before Baby got to it !
Fortunately for Mom not everything turns into a mess !
Before the start of the party – clearly so !
Eventually Baby either finishes the cake, smears it on the camera lens, or just drops it to the floor 🙂
The party ends with a contented baby, overstuffed guests, the photographer with cake on his lens, and a tired Mom !
