The Big Dog Turns 6

Well, today was my birthday and it was a very special one.

I came down the stairs to find donuts with candles in them and Mom, Dad, Mae and Pax singing to me.

Then I went to school where I got to wear the birthday crown all day. My friends sang and we pretended they were candles and I blew them out and they all fell down.

Mom made me my birthday dinner request - homemade pizza - and then we broke into song once again and ate some cupcakes.

I had a couple gifts to open up, the first of which was a harmonica from my friend Kim and the second was a new swimsuit from Mae, since I'll be starting up my swim lessons again soon.

All in all, it feels good to be six, though I'm on my 10th day with no binky and that is still not feeling so good...

Swim Diaper Alert

Sometimes even a swimsuit needs a belt.

Okay, so here's the conversation that followed this episode. Mind you, it was really windy and very hard to hear.

DAD: FIN! PULL YOUR PANTS UP

ME: WHAT?

DAD: PULL YOUR PANTS UP (very articulated, or so he says)

ME: WHAT? WE'RE GONNA HAVE PIZZA?!!

DAD (laughing): NO! YOUR PANTS, PULL YOUR PANTS UP!

ME: PIZZA??!!!!

Maybe you just had to be there.
