Leah's Second Birthday

(taken from our old .mac site)

January 26, 2008

Had a low-key 2nd birthday for Leah. Went to tom's house of pizza with the grandparents and angie ee-mo for food and the hockey game. Afterwards, since Leah likes sweets so much we thought we'd walk across to the cheesecake cafe for some dessert.

Leah gets in and starts cheering in front of the cake display case and runs up and down the length of it (which is half the width of the restaurant). Does her happy dance and can't get over herself. People waiting for their table are laughing at her at this point. We had her on a zero-sugar diet for a few days already to try to dissolve her neck cyst, so needless to say this was a special treat.

Only it was around 6:30pm and they had a big dinner crowd. Dessert would have been a one hour wait so we decided to screw with Leah's dessert and try another time. Leah wouldn't have it and after a few minutes of asking her nicely to leave she realised she wasn't going to have any dessert and had a fit. Gerry carried her out over his shoulder as she was grasping the air and crying for her precious cakes. "my cakes! my cakes! no my cakes! please!" People around are still laughing.

Guilt strikes us and we decide to take her somewhere less busy. Dairy Queen closes at 7pm and we make it in 10 mins before closing. She had her cake. We went home to open presents from

ee-mo.

We'll take her to cheesecake cafe one day soon.
