Happy Cake... Worth the wait?

Monday was my 31st birthday. In celebration, Dan brought home a yummy mint chocolate chip icecream cake. (my favorite kind of icecream!) Davis and I had been talking about it all day long and getting really excited about blowing out the candles together.
.
Our rule at dinner is that you have to finish your dinner to have dessert, so I gave Davis a couple little pieces of chicken, a small amount of rice and a 2 little green beans, to ensure that he would finish his dinner. Well, dinner arrived and Davis refused to eat any dinner. All he could think about was "happy cake." He had already been reminded of the rule, therefore it had to be enforced. Ugh. I was sadder then he was I think and I shed quite a few tears after putting my little one to bed.
.
Fast forward the next 2 days... Tuesday and Wednesday we didn't talk about happy cake, but he didn't finish his dinner either so therefore he didn't recieve any cake...
.
Thankfully, Thursday at lunch Davis did an awesome job eating his lunch therefore I surprised him with some "happy cake." Dan and I had been eating on it all week, so we were grateful there was still some left!

The remaining happy cake.

Davis sang happy birthday to me and helped me blow out my candles. (I had refused to blow them out until Davis could do it with me!) It was a fun time!

Happy cake! Yes, it was worth the wait! I also used this time as a lesson for Davis on how to lick his plate clean, just like his mommy likes to do with her icecream cake!
