Proprietary Babbling

Jamie: (riding in back seat) Open shuckie open shuckie open shuckie open shuckie...
Me: (driving) Open shuckie open shuckie?
Jamie: No! I'm saying that!

Don't step on my lines, Dad.

1095 Days = Chocolate

After much anticipation, Jamie's third birthday has finally arrived.

By command, I made a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Cake from a box, frosting from scratch, decorated with gummi bears and chocolate chips and rainbow candles from the co-op. Even birthday candles come in tie-dye at the co-op.

The guests are here!
We're starting with the chocolate cake and ice cream. Got a problem with that?

Papa was too busy holding the camera to help with the singing, alas.


The play cook set (with handy backpack for carrying) was a hit. Here Jamie is pouring "coffee" for her friend Marcus.

Chocolate, dolly, cook set, and friends. What more could a three-year-old girl want?
"I want another birthday," was the reply.
