Birthday Madness
May 11, 2006 – 10:56 pm | by potsieOur youngest turns 6 years old today. Holy crap (”Dad, that’s a bad word!”), use every cliche, but it’s true that time flies.
I vividly recall our youngest doing her best to get stuck under the futon, as she would back herself up, like an inch worm in reverse, pick up her head, and then get this perplexed look on her face…”Hey, what the heck is that above me? Somebody let me outta here.”
With her in kindergarten, last night was all about making some birthday treats to take to school today. We whipped up some rice krispies treats, but added some fruit loops to the mix, to “jazz” them up. Yum yum yum.
Birthday dinner consisted of her favorite Chinese food, chicken with broccoli.
Some favorite lines of hers, leading up to her birthday:
Sunday evening, hollered from upstairs, just prior to bed:
“Daddy, do you know what you’re getting me for my birthday?”
“Maybe”
“Okay, don’t tell me. I want it to be a surprise. And please make sure you wrap the presents.”
Monday at gymnastics, prior to heading into her class, in one long
breath:
“Daddy, can you make sure mom and sister talk about what they’re going to get me? And can you put the presents in my room, while I’m sleeping, so when I wake up, I’ll feel presents when I get out of bed and know it’s my birthday?”
Yesterday morning:
“Have you and mom talked about what you’re getting me? Who is going to get the presents?”
“Maybe we already bought them.”
“I’m not sure I believe you…”
