Did you know my little one turned 3?

That's right. My sweet little boy albeit an infamous disaster creator, but still so sweet, is now 3. I can't believe it. I kind of don't want to believe it.

Carter saw a Batman cake at the local grocery store bakery and made up his mind right then and there that this would be his next birthday cake.  That was in August.  His birthday was April 2nd.  He didn't let me forget. But I didn't let him forget that I would not be ordering him a shortening-frosted-dried-out-odd-ratio-of-cake-to-icing store bought confection.

Oh no, not me. Let's just say when he saw this cake all done and ready to go, he was not disappointed.

Carter is a good eater.  He's not chubby but he is solid.  I dare say, solid muscle.  I'm pretty sure there's even some pecks going on there under his shirt but anyway, a good eater.  Likely his top 2 favorite foods are strawberries or fruit in general and soup.  You could say Zupas is his eatery of choice.  A chocolate dipped strawberry with a bowl of soup.  And just recently, he put aside his disdain for bread and started dipping some bread into his soup!  So now between his handfuls of Sacrament bread (we're working on this) and soup dipping bread, he'll come out on top with his grains/starches.

Nate-Guy, as Carter fondly refers to his dad as, had to work the day we celebrated with family.  So I transported two soups to my parent's house to share.  Unfortunately, this ended up being an epic fail.  My car now smells of outdated creamy tomato basil... but there for that afternoon, we dined on Zupa Toscana (thanks Aunt Brenda) and Wisconsin Cauliflower along with salad, chocolate dipped strawberries and of course bread, for dipping purposes.
