It's a sad day that goes something like this; you shut your eyes going mm mmm savouring the moment happily, toddler walks in and see's this, looks up at you with big eyes saying "ta, ta?" You think, "Oh a little won't hurt?" You then spend the next hour or more chasing after a crazed toddler high on sugar, who now only wants to eat delicious desserts, and you will never eat in peace again.
