Love the red! Good... } – She Shares His Day
I’m feeling a little picturesque tonight. Just wanted to give you heads up in case you were wondering what happened to my more solemn demeanor. Sorry, it happens. When carrying another human being alongside me for twenty-two months (yes, 22!) I tend to get into moods. Imagine that.
So today is her birthday. The one who is actually paying attention to the camera. She’s seven. Because if the other one was seven, the Guinness book people might be knocking at my door any day now. Strange to name a record-holding book the same name as a brand of beer.
Ah! Looked it up just now. You knew I would. Turns out the founder of the record-holding organization was first the managing director of the brewery. It all started over a shooting party. So figures. It’s exactly how I imagined it started. Shooting. Uh-huh.
Why oh why do I branch? Focus.
Back to birthday girl. She shares her day with Saint Valentine. How cool is that?!
Her day:
1) Panera in the AM.
2) Birthday cake, birthday song and candle (yes, one) at noon.
3) Panera in the PM.
4) Pink heart cookie, monkey song and candle (yes, STILL ONE) later in the PM.
By the way, she missed blowing out the one candle on both first tries so by the second go-around, her baby sister blew it out for her. And you thought one candle would be too easy.
5) And then there was this . . .
Um, her big sister wrapped around her and a walker. Or, er, uh, a skater? Well, hey, if it works. Right? Right???
This one tagged along on the PM Panera trip and from her expression was most unimpressed.
No matter. As long as when she returned she was enamored by the lady holding her sans no make-up, no sleep in four months and gaining weight at record-breaking speed . . . then we’re golden!
Happy Saint Valentine’s Day everyone!
Thank you GQ ♥
