cupcake

so the day after lilly jo's first birthday party we had church small group cookout at our house.

long story short...there were about 12 adults and 6 kids at our house and i needed to slip away to make a quick phone call so i went into the back bedroom, having full confidence lilly jo would be fine and seth or someone would be playing/keeping an eye on lilly jo. i take full responsibility for what happened next...

seth comes in about 10 min into my conversation and asks if lj is in the room with me, to which i reply 'no' and he looks confused, but i assure him she's not with me. so he leaves and conversation continues...

about 5 min later one of the ladies in our small group comes in and says, "um, seth says you need to come see this right away..."

low and behold, she's gotten a hold of one of the 3 plates of leftover cupcakes that was on the buffet in the kitchen, behind the dining room table. she pulled it down and was on her SECOND cupcake. and let me clarify, these cupcakes were spectacularly red and huge! she had even gotten some of the fantastic foil down her throat, and praise God, hadn't tried to eat (or choked on) the gummy thing or tootsie roll that were on the top of the apple cupcakes.

we all got a good laugh and i learned a valuable lesson. never assume someone is watching your 1 yr old...
