milking #6 for all it’s worth

The reason for this visit to Ted Drewes? Her last frozen custard of her fifth year…

Today my baby turns six years old. In years past we’ve celebrated it in high style – this year we’ve spread the celebrations out over days when friends and family have been in town. We’ve planned a small party for friends in September, once the baby dust has settled, but it’s still been quite a bit different around here this year. She’s feeling it as well. The baby isn’t quite as exciting as she thought, and her time with her is fairly limited. But last night, on the ride home from desert she got a taste of the “fun” that a younger sibling is sure to bring. For now it may just be staging props on a sleeping baby, but soon enough the two of them will be in cahoots together, and things will be a bit more fun around here.

Happy sixth birthday to my spectacular daughter. Thanks for making me laugh just when I need to.
