There's a funny thing about chores around the house. They 'multiply' very quickly with the 'addition' of new members in the household- be it guests or babies. This type of math is something I haven't quite figured out yet. It's a good thing no one ever highlights this fact to the parents of a single child. Those of us with more than one child knows how it works. There's double of everything in need except for laundry...somehow that explodes into quadruples or more loads. Pray tell me how does the youngest member of the household get the say in the amount of clothes that need to be laundered?
Parents have this notion that they are in control. I say: "bull", there's no one in more control of a household than the youngest and most helpless member of the human family. A tiny cry and we wake up, a smile and we swoon with delight, a whimper and we wait with baited breath for the cry to follow, a howl and we drop everything to get food ready, a small cut or bruise and we are ready to visit the ER...now this is what I call 'being in control'! The power to twist fingers to do whatever I demand without moving a limb of my own. Amazing. Sarcasm aside babies are the most dear thing to all of us. No matter how many loads of laundry they bring with them, they are all definitely baskets of joy.
A mellow lemon cake filled with raspberry mousse was the choice for this baby shower cake to enjoy the tastes of the last few days of summer. The color of the decorations were matched to the lemon and raspberry for the berry sweet little baby girl on the way.
