Auntie Turns 30!

Auntie's birthday kicked off the long string of summer birthdays. Once again, Laine dictated how things will go...due to her love of a silly book called "My Birthday." It's a phonics book (about "ir" words such as "birthday," "circus," and "bird,") and Laine loves it. Loves it--as in, we couldn't leave the house without it for a week or so this past summer. She's learned that birthdays involve hats, balloons, candles, and "happy cake," as she calls it.
We made sure there were hats and balloons on hand, and Auntie even got Laine a gift! It was a play cake, with plates, forks, candles, and a silver cake server. Laine spent the afternoon passing out cake to all of us--very carefully scooping up slices and walking very slowly across the room, so as not to lose her dessert. We hope Auntie had a great day--we sure did!

  1. Must be a D & M cake, or is it M & D?? Sounds like a great book. We are watching Leap Frog Letter Sound Factory DVD. Learing the letter sounds. Honestly I have to listen to figure out what to teach her. L says: Lllllll or Laaaaa??? She'll learn it faster than me!
