It’s true what they say about the third child….it’s really just not fair.
Grace got a birthday party with friends when she turned three, and a pinata her Daddy made her. Josiah got a picnic and face painting and balloon animals.
Which, of course, they have no memory of.
So why make a big deal, right?
Poor third child.
But since this is Lily’s first birthday with her family, and well, she is pretty special, we still wanted it to be a special day. Especially since she had been asking me for weeks if it was her birthday Today.
Since her birthday was a day off of school, we all got to go to Water World.
And since we were making waffles for dinner, I thought, No one is really going to want to eat cake, right? Can’t we just put the candles in the waffles?
So we did. But then, whenever I was in the kitchen the next two days, she asked me if I was making her a birthday cake.
So the girl got a cake. Just a couple days late.
