Christopher Robin & The White Birthday

What do you do when your three-year-old insists on speaking with a Christopher Robin accent? "Mummy, are we going to chuch today?" "May I have a cracka?" I mean it is fairly normal for our two-year-old to have trouble with his "l" and "th" sounds: bwue is his favorite color and he finks he should play wif his car now. . . but a British accent from his sister?!

Did you know that all birthdays are supposed to have a color theme? Apparently all kids know this. Last year my daughter informed us about a month before her third birthday that she wanted a Pink Birthday. We were a bit amazed, but we strove to please: pink balloons, pink napkins, pink cookies, even pink whipped cream for the strawberries! This year we have been told that she needs a White Birthday. That shouldn't be too hard, right? I have to admit that I laughed when she proceeded to inform her daddy that he needed a Black Birthday this year!

He was vindicated a few moments later when Katie told us that I also needed a Black Birthday.

Mary has been doing that a little bit! I don't know where in the world she got it. She typically does it while giving playing instructions to Justus.

BTW: Are you going to be around at all while I am out there in June???

J says that it is better that her recommending that you have a gray birthday. :)
