january 31st - gemma eats cake...at 8am

We came very close to "second child" neglect because we never got around to Gemma's opportunity to make a royal mess of herself.  Today, we finally got our act together and had things set up for Gemma during her happiest time....the morning.  We had both kids shoving cake in their faces for breakfast.  We mentioned it to Alex the night before and he woke up talking about cake for breakfast.  Gemma started out by herself to get some pictures.  Keeping Alex at bay with the smell of cake in the air was like holding back a 30lb Rottweiler.  Eventually the two of them were smearing it on each other...and having the time of their life.
