Making Cupcakes

OK!! I had another craving the other night, I wanted cupcakes! So we decide to make them. I thought Jackson would enjoy this. Him and his Daddy enjoyed themselves. Jackson was a big help. As i watched i noticed that Jackson is going to be like Jonathan. When he is working hard at something or concentrating they both stick their tongues out and slightly bite. You can notice this in the pictures. He watched through the glass oven door them cook just waiting to eat them. Jackson is going to be a perfectionist like me. He wants everything perfect. So when it came to decorating the cupcakes he placed one sprinkle on at a time, in the precise location he thought it should be.

Ok imagine this. Jackson has just spent the past 45 minutes baking the cupcakes and the past 30 minutes decorating HIS cupcake. He shows his daddy his masterpiece and he is so PROUD. Jonathan and I have just praised him for working so hard!! So he starts to eat his masterpiece. As he starts to eat/lick the icing the cupcake breaks into and hits the floor. OH NO!!!!! It was like the end of the world just happened he starts this TANTRUM like no other. But keep in mind i still have 15 other cupcakes, luckily i had not decorated all of them. So once we get him to calm down he realizes "oh i can go get another" he is back to the proud and happy Jackson. Then he starts his decorating which again takes at least 20 minutes. But when he goes to eat this one he is sitting at the table over a plate. Also in the the pictures you will notice he LOVES the icing and licks it off and wants another one, leaving the cake behind! We had fun and all enjoyed the cupcakes!!!
