today is the day. the day that Avery answers the phone, wishes the person on the other end a happy birthday too, and then asks if they have a present for her... nice.I told her yesterday that she wasn't having a big party like last year because we went to the waterslides in Lethbridge, and she wasn't getting a Lightning McQueen cake like last year either. I told her that I was making her a race track cake instead. Today she told me she was very disappointed in me because i didn't make the Lightning cake. Very disappointed. way to make mommy feel awesome, Avery. Anyhoo, Grant took her for her bath this morning, and while she was in the tub, I make this cake. When she came downstairs, she told me she wasn't disappointed in me anymore, just a little disappointed.
why oh why do we do this? TARA????? any idea????
so I am going to go have a shower, wrap her gift, make the meal, wash the floor, and never, ever do this again. Next year.... build-a-bear....

Ok smart ass! First things first...cake turned out awesome!! I can see why she was "less" disappointed!! Secondly ... we do this because it is only ONE day, just ONE day where it is all theirs! Cake, balloons, friends, presents and memories! That is why she remembers last year so fondly - so as mothers and fathers we suck it up and not down play it to disappointment! Because remember afterall you can go to a hotel with pool or go to build-a-bear ANYDAY!!! But there is only one day that is time for their birthday party!! And remember also that this only lasts until they are about 7 or 8 then they get to pick a friend and go to a movie or something less flamboyant (sp?)! Hang in there Cummins' crew as she is only 4 and Cohen only 1!!!!!
