Mostly a crazy day - Henry is 10 today! My little baby is so grown up. Big, yes, but also witty and mature and silly and goofy and sweet. He is beside himself not knowing what he will get. To keep Kaitlin quiet, I turned keeping the birthday secret into a game. When Henry asks, we make up a silly word - gigglehoffen or something. The other day Henry asked and Kaitlin said she'd tell him. She went into the kitchen, got a large fork and came back. "Henry," she said," We got you a dinglehoffer!" [Those of you familiar with The Little Mermaid might get it. You have to be 4 and a girl, or a mom to a girl who is 4 lol!]
