b. is being a bit sassy this morning but i’m wondering if that’s the inevitable result of giving him a rubber scraper of chocolate frosting to lick for breakfast. made some chocolate cupcakes (let’s call them muffins with frosting to make them seem healthier, shall we?) for his class snack. got these great [...]
