Bethany had her first birthday on September 19th. I made cupcakes (regular and gluten-free) and planned to have a little family party over lunch, but Dave got delayed at work and Amanda couldn’t delay her nap any longer, so we waited and celebrated that evening after church group. As is tradition, I gave Bethany her own cupcake to play with, eat, or destroy to her heart’s content. Eva and Amanda were aghast, making comments like “Bethany’s making a mess! Why is she smashing it? It’s in her lap!” Amanda even ran into the next room to bring me a wet wipe. J Bethany seemed rather unimpressed overall, preferring to quietly play with it more than eat it (she’s really not interested in putting things in her mouth unless they feel good for her sore gums to chew on). We let her open a present from Aunt Laura (and a little later, one from Aunt Nanci), but we’re waiting to give her our present until we celebrate a family party with Grandma and Grandpa next week.
