My oldest daughter was born.  At 7:41am.  It 
seems amazing that I'm "grown up" enough to 
have such a big girl, and I know it'll be even 
more amazing next year and the years to come.

However, my daughter is still young enough to 
say and think very funny things.

;)

This morning, my husband and I sang happy 
birthday to her while she was eating her 
breakfast.  She had this really sour look on 
her face the whole time.  When we finished, 
she pursed her lips and said, "But today is 
NOT MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!"

My husband said, "But Ginger, remember when 
Mommy said that your *party* was on Saturday 
and your real birthday was on Monday?"

Ginger just growled into her breakfast.

So my husband said, "At least we can agree 
that you're four now, right?"  No response.  
"Ginger?  You're not three anymore, are 
you?"

Ginger:  "NO!  I'M STILL FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 
in a really loud yell.

So anyway, Chris and I are just going to 
avoid any mention of her birthday for the 
rest of the day.  It'll just have to be a 
funny story to tell her when she gets older.

JenP, who can't believe her daughter will go 
to kindergarten after the next birthday!
