And her personality? It might be fair to say there are traits she inherited from who-knows-where that I am acutally jealous of.She is kind, fair and always willing to share. She is funny, yet able to laugh at herself. The wind blows to the left - she goes to the left. The breeze shifts to the right and she follows. She is a happy, healthy, secure in her choices little girl. She amazes me.
She approached her birthday with her typical , lay-se-fair attitude.
"Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to you..." - I woke her with song this morning. "Oh, it's today? I'm hungry" was her birthday response.
"How old are you today?" Her Nana and Papa asked over the phone. "I don't know" she said. She's said this for days as people inquire. She's convincing everytime. It seems the number doesn't matter to her.
She "Oooooooo'ed" and "Aaaaaaahhh'ed" at every piece of her present, even the wrapping paper. And the look on her face was a perfect mix of joy and appreciation.
The combined party is Saturday. She struggled to create a guest list. "Do you have any close friends at pre-school?" I asked, a few times in different ways. "Naw" she replied with a huge grin, "I'm just friends with everybody". It's true. It's delightful to watch her grow.
I marvel at this gorgeous soul we created who takes the world for what it is and nothing more.
I gawk at her ability to shrug off her birthday like a old man who mutters, "Eh - it's just another day, isnt it?
It is adorable and endearing. It shows her strength of heart. Seriously - she's mine?

I adore her! Happy birthday, girl!
This post brought tears to my eyes, Thank you for sharing your precious Comedian, and both your girls and your love for them. Please tell Miss Comedian I make a strawberry cake with whipped cream and fresh strawberries from down the road that is Fabulous.
I would love to make it for her next birthday or anyone after that...
Happy Birthday, Sweetie! I know I am late but please forgive me for that! Comedian's favourite colour is pink?
I could hear Bear chuckling in the background! You have a beautiful family!
I don't bake cakes, but I love devouring them! :)
Happy Birthday again Comedian! And I loved your response to Mummy..."I am hungry!".
Sweet lovely girls SO grown up.
I imagine Emma looking down on her two little sisters laughing along with them.
"The wind blows to the left - she goes to the left. The breeze shifts to the right and she follows."
We should all try to live her way!

Happy Birthday! I wish we all found it so easy to be friends with everyone!
