This weekend

What a blur...

Our house was full.

 Cupcakes were made and devoured.

But first - our Friday 

and official Monter's birthday.

It was just us three 

and our favorite local Italian eatery.

Eva had pasta and meatballs...

so did the table, floor and our neighbors coat.

The restaurant sang happy birthday...

brought her gelato with a candle...

and couldn't believe how big she was getting.

confession: we eat gelato a lot, a whole lot

Eva fed herself with a spoon.

She was doing it so well,  

you would think that she had been doing it all the time.

Nope - first time.

We had tried to teach her before

with oatmeal and macaroni...

but never a bowl full of chocolate chunk gelato.

Silly parents.

I am brainstorming how this could work for potty training...

hmmm.
