Dio's weaning party

When Zari finished nursing at 3 1/2, we threw her a "nursing party" to celebrate. Nursing parties are now a family tradition, and Dio has been waiting his turn for the past several weeks. Finally we got around to making a cake.

At his request, he wanted a "race car cake." Then he added, "a Lightning McQueen cake!" (He spent a few weeks this summer with a Cars-obsessed cousin.) I wasn't about to go overboard and try this. Instead we made a decent replica with M&Ms.

I love you, Dio, and I'm so proud of you!
