Happy!! and good night!

"Happy" Moments: Happy moments are some of the favorites around this house these days. Any event where you say "Happy " is a happy event here. So that includes birthday, holidays, you name it. Brian recently had a birthday. I got him a few little boy hats for his birthday from the girls. We wrapped them while he was out getting our veggie share. I explained to the girls they were for Daddy's "Happy Birthday" that was tomorrow. As soon as Brian walked in the front door, Grace yelled "Happy da-da!" Needless to say, that was the only present her daddy needed for his birthday as seen by the smile on her face. Since Sophie repeats most of what Grace says, they spent the evening saying "Happy da-da!" We got him happy birthday balloons or as Grace say "happy oons". We had a "Happy cake" that they got to help blow the candles out on. The happiness continued on Mother's days where I was wished "Happy mama!" and my mom was told "Happy Grandma". It probably doesn't help that their favorite book is birthday themed picture book so it has all of the fun birthday stuff in it like balloons, cakes, games, and hats. They were very excited to have so many "happy days" all together here recently. So if you get wished a "happy", know it is a special day for you indeed!

Good night baby: Brian got what was Grace's toddler bed built back into a crib over the weekend. He got the blue crib skirt, yellow sheet, bright bumper pad, spit up pad all set up. I set the little collection of blue blankets in there. The girls were very interested in all of this. (Grace can climb the edge to look into the crib.) We told them the crib was for the new baby to sleep in. Well all they heard was baby sleep in crib. Grace ran to their bedroom and got baby dolls. She came in and gave one to Sophie and then she put the one she had in the crib. The one Sophie had went in next. Some mornings, Grace runs in the nursery and will put the babies to bed in the crib and shut the door. We get told to not open the door because the baby is ni-ni. At night, she will go get the babies out of the crib so they can go back to bed with the girls. It is all very cute. We still have to paint ... well Brian has to paint. But little boy now has a dresser full of blue clothes and a crib that definitely says "boy!" so that is a pretty good start.
