Pat-A-Cake

To me, the two next pictures are possibly some of the cutest ever taken. Rosemary LOVES pat-a-cake. A lot. All you have to do is just say the words "pat-a-cake" and Rosemary will stop whatever she is doing and start clapping. Pat-a-cake never fails to put a big smile on her face, and we love seeing Rosemary smile, so we do a lot of pat-a-cake around our house. Here is Rosemary and her daddy playing a bit of pat-a-cake before bedtime one night earlier this week:

And the grand finale -- throwing it in the oven!

Look at that expression on her face! Who would have ever thought that Daddy would throw the cake in the oven?!!

I love that we can use our kids as an excuse to have good ol' fashioned childish fun!; October 4, 2009 at 8:01 AM
