At the end of a VERY busy day with parades, scavenger hunts, pig decorating, cake, candles, presents, friends and family, everyone is either fast asleep or wearily cleaning up and hurrying off to bed. Today was Bridget's third birthday and, by request, she had a "Pig Party". I asked her tonight if she enjoyed her Pig Party and she said "Yes, but we didn't play pigs-in-blankets", to which I replied, "well, actually we ATE pigs-in-blankets when we ate those hotdogs today at lunch. You know, the ones that were wearing "blankets" of pastrey". Her response was appropriately disconnected when she said "next year, I want a duck party".
At least she has given me a full year to plan.
What I love about our Bridget
1) I love that she calls sleeves "sweeves" and Granville Island is "Grandma Island"
2) I love her laugh
3) I love how she snuggles into your neck
4) I love that she is fiercely loyal to her sister
5) I love "Bridget's World" and the stories that Bridget tells. She is clearly a storyteller beyond her years (ask her about going to Africa and listening to the drums and seeing the dinosaurs)
6) I love that Bridget knows exactly what she wants to wear and how she wants to wear it
7) I love that Bridget sings to herself all day long (like her Daddy)
8) I love that Bridget will tell someone she loves "You are the best Mummy/Daddy/Sister/Cat/Simone etc in the world"
9) I love that Bridget lights up a room with her smile and her twinkling eyes
10) I love that Bridget is our beautiful, smart, kind, loyal, funny daughter and that she is not afraid to be herself.
Happy Birthday Bridget. We love you.
Mummy, Daddy and Sophie
