He is so cute. But I just couldn’t spend my life with a man who only had cake on his birthday because his partner is pregnant. I guess that’s what it takes to look like that, but man… we’ve gotta have cake.

Reading this blog about them reminds me that I taped that episode of Conan O’Brien. I love when Mark talks about his children

I agree it’s a nice treat for a kid to have cake once in a while. Although I do not believe sugar actually makes kids more hyper. They did research on 20/20 and showed that kids generally just got excited because usually when they get sugar it is a special event like a birthday or christmas or they are around there friends. I found it interesting. Although I know some people swear sugar makes kids hyper.

Too funny… and my husband and I would have done the same thing with any of our kids… as long as you have your good dinner, a little before and a little after (or a good sized piece after) isn’t a big deal.

In fact, when we do a birthday (like my husband’s) on a weekday, we always do cake first so that the sugar will be out of them by bedtime.

I think it’s nice they are being laid back and giving her some treats and special days while she’s young and doesn’t understand the need to eat her meal and then her cake, instead of the other way around.

Ha! That is so funny. The exact reason we have cut sugar out of our kids’ diets. Although with us, our 4 year-old beats up our 7 year-old.

I can just imagine Mark melting and giving in to Ella!
