Let them eat cake

I have had a lot of fun making new and unusual cakes lately. For Jay's birthday I made a pirate cake. For Leslie it was a party hat, and James got a campsite. Today I made a duck cake for my friend, Crystal's, baby shower. I am sad I don't have any events coming up that need a cake. Oh well, I am sure I will think of something. Jay loves to watch the cakes 'come alive', but he likes eating the frosting even more. He has been learning that when you mix colors, you get new colors, and enjoys watching me mix them together. He found a game on PBSkids.org that lets you mix colors and then add them to the picture. He is slowly getting the idea. I am so grateful for the learning games that are so plentiful on the internet, and glad that Jay likes to play them. He is constantly suprising me with what he knows. A while ago, as we were returning from the hospital, Jay told me we needed a BPS. I asked him what a BPS was and he said, "an electronic map". "Oh," I replied, "a GPS. Where did you learn the word electronic?" It turns out that Diego, from "GO, Diego, GO" has a GPS in his watch, and that is where Jay picked it up.

Leslie also amazes me. She doesn't feel the need to talk, she just points and grunts. I can usually figure out what she wants, and she giggles as I get closer, probably to encourage me. She is also at the 'I want mommy all the time' stage. Speaking of which, I am being paged. Talk to y'all soon.
