I must admit that my birthday celebration started yesterday at school. I picked out the oh-so-popular mini cupcakes to bring to school for snacks. I couldn't wait to tell mommy that they sang Happy Birthday to me!
It has been raining here for a couple of days. Yesterday, walking in to school I noticed a lot of my friends had their own umbrella. I admired them on the way in and by the time Mommy picked me up, I had decided that I must have one! And I must have a "rainbow one" just like my friend Ava.
Mommy said we could go shopping for one when Daddy got home with some of my birthday money. She couldn't help but be surprised that out of all the things to want for my birthday, I chose an umbrella.
After every daily event, I reminded Mommy that when Daddy got home, we would go shopping for an umbrella. Mommies and Daddies have a habit of forgetting things ya know. So that was the first thing Daddy heard when he walked through the door!
After going to four different stores, we ended up at the mall at Claires. And there it was, a beautiful rainbow striped umbrella. I could choose between penguins, polka dots, Hello Kitty...but NOPE! I wanted the "rainbow one!" (Mommy gave a sigh of relief when the sales lady pulled a rainbow one out wondering how she was going to make one appear after this long shopping night.)
It wasn't raining out, but I sported my umbrella with pride as I walked to the car... and was really sad when I had to close it in the car. I wasn't raining in the living room either when I held it for 30 minutes while watching my night show! I didn't want to part with the coolest umbrella in the world!!!
We went to the museum today to celebrate my "actual" birthday. And guess what came along? And did you think I cared one bit that it wasn't raining?
There is probably one thing at this moment that I love as much as my new umbrella and that is the train! I ride it every time we go to the museum and if you come visit me, well riding the train is a must! An umbrella, the train, and my birthday...well, that is just FANtastic!
Opening some of my gifts and cards this morning after breakfast..
