Happy Birthday dear Noah

"Let's make party hats," he says. And so we do. Red ones with red ribbon by request.

"Let's go to the toy store," he grins. And so we go. Sat on the floor to read Handy Manny, drooled over the shiny bikes and the entire imaginarium aisle (wait, that last one was me, I love those toys).

"L-L-Let's go outside and dig," he says (the 3-yr-old-excitement-stutter has already kicked in). And so with bucket and shovel we dig right next to the peonies.

"Let's make birthday cupcakes and eat them for dinner," he laughs. And here a mother draws the line. But eat cupcakes we did. Right after our dinner plates were licked clean.

My favorite part of the day was that sweet smile on Boah's face when we sang Happy Birthday. So happy. Today was a day to celebrate.

I love reading your blog, Jessie-it's like a children's book the way you combine repetive, predictable elements into the text. Way to reinforce my budding literacy skills. :)

Happy Birthday NOAH! It looks like a really fun day!
