And what exactly is a "Cake Cake" you might ask? Cake Cake is the name my toddler daughter (now 9.5) Krystal named Strawberry Shortcake many years ago. Or maybe it was her friend Carly who did. My memory is a little sketchy at times about certain details, but they both called her Cake Cake and they both had all the heavily scented DVD's, clothes, sheet sets.....anything we could find that had her face on it.
Now Peyton is fascinated with Cake Cake. She has dolls, and Happy Meal Toys. Several episodes saved to the DVR for emergency meltdown situations. She knows when she wants it on too. She hands me the tv remote and in a tiny little voice says "Cake Cake" and really, how can I turn that down? Today she handed me a Strawberry Shortcake sweater that she dragged out her dresser "Cake Cake" she yells, pushing the sweater into my hands. She won't stop until I put it on over her pajamas.
Todd bought her Cake Cake bandages last night and she was mad that I wouldn't plaster her body with them right then and there. I had to hide them on top of the fridge. Krystal gave her a heart shaped pillow with Cake Cake's face on it. I only wish that we still had the giant stuffed one we got Krystal many years ago. That would have been great.
