“Is Daddy having a party? A birthday party? Can I make his birthday party? We need balloons, lots of balloons. Who’s going to come to his party? Only daddies can come to his party. I can come, because I’m a little girl, but friends can’t come and mommies can’t come because daddy’s a daddy and only daddies come to daddy parties.”
“Can mom come to his birthday party?”
“Um, yeah, you can come, you can bring him his cake. WITH THE FIRE! And we’ll SING! We need to get candlesticks for his cake. Is he having chocolate cake? Or chocolate cake? With frosting? I love frosting! Can I lick the spoon? Is daddy going to have a princess cake? NO! Just kidding. He’s going to have a football cake. A big brown football cake. A chocolate football. Can I help you make it? I’m going to need to lick the spoon. Let’s get balloons! Pirate balloons and Spiderman Balloons and Football balloons! Daddy’s a boy so he has to have a boy party. A Spiderman, football, pirate party, ARGH! Can I open his presents?”
“We have to wait until daddy gets home before you can ask if you can open his presents.”
“Oh. Can I have cake please?”
“We have to wait until after dinner for cake.”
“Let’s eat dinner!”
“We have to wait for daddy to get home.”
“Can I have cake while I wait for daddy? He won’t mind, he shares his cake with me.”
(Enter Cody)
“DADDY! Can I open your presents for you? (commences to tear them open and chuck each gift at him as she moves on to the next) ALL DONE! Time for CAKE! Daddy! I made you a football cake! With daddy beans in a heart! Happy birthday daddy. What’s your number? I’m going to be four, mom’s going to make me a princess cake, a Cinderella cake. She’ll sing, she’ll sing so beautiful. Is it time for cake yet?”
“the moosh, we have to wait until after dinner, if you ask one more time you won’t be having cake because I will have taped your mouth closed.”
“Oh, hee hee, sorry mom. I’ll ask daddy. Daddy? Can I have cake? Pleeease?”

Birthdays are way more fun when someone’s around who actually thinks turning another year older is awesome.

Oh, that moosh! hehe Kids are so much fun at birthdays! Our friend’s daughter (she’s 7) refuses to miss our daughter’s 1st birthday party this weekend, she’s so excited. And at Christmas when we saw them, she couldn’t wait for our daughter to open her gift from them. If only we could keep that enthusiasm up throughout life 🙂

That is a very good birthday she made. Hee hee! This makes me think of my house. Kids are so much fun, when they’re not driving you insane. My 3 yo keeps telling me about her “baby stister” that she’s getting for her happy birthday (gotta love due dates on an older child’s birthday) on Saturday (it’s in September). I hear about it several times a day, several days a week. Heaven help us for the next 6 months.

Dude. You totally have to make me my own birthday cake since the one my Mom made for me Easter weekend got all screwed up because we didn’t press the “convection” button on the oven and then it got gooey in the middle and overdone around the edges and let’s just say it wasn’t as delicious as it should have been.

I think if we put the Moosh and my Little Man in a room together and had them plan a party, they would try so hard to out plan the other that it would never get done.
“If the Moosh gets an idea…
She’s gonna want to plan a party…
Then she’s gonna pick a theme (or three).
Once you let her pick a theme, she’s gonna want to buy balloons.
Then the balloons will remind her of cake…”
