So yesterday was Emilia’s half birthday.  In celebration (and because we had some bananas that were looking a little worse for wear) we made banana cake (recipe from Baking by Dorie Greenspan).  It turned out delish and my little helper loved adding the sprinkles and licking the beaters.

I had the sprinkles (leftover from Valentine’s Day) in a bowl for Emilia to pinch and then sprinkle on the cake.  Of course my girl had other ideas and decided to upend the bowl onto the cake so of course all the sprinkles ended in a pile.

making sure every last sprinkle is out of the bowl.

our poor, semi-crushed cake.  at least it still tasted good!

** POTTY UPDATE: Sorry this is graphic, but whatever…As of today, Emilia is a peeing/pooping on the potty CHAMP.  She has pooped successfully twice today and came home completely dry in her pull-up.  She’s so proud of herself she could just burst, as are we.  Clearly some celebrating is in order this weekend!**
