Let them eat cake

What do you do when your three year old comes home from school sad because a classmate had a birthday party with cupcakes she couldn't eat? You let her eat cake at home. Poor kid :( teacher said she just asked to go lay down instead which I assume was because she couldn't stand to sit and watch the other kids eat cake.

So after dinner we are cake at home. Our own little party of sorts and then I played dress up with Callie. Anything she chose for 20 min. I think we made up for that missed cupcake at school. And I know this is the first of many occasions, but I hope it helps her learn strength, independence and willpower for all the other things she shouldn't do but will see friends and classmates do growing up.
