Now it's the other Kid's turn






OK, Michael again.
So we've done up the front room for the second kid's 1st birthday Friday (that's Madigan in case you've not been following along).
Being the somewhat practical man I am, I questioned all the work we were doing for a first birthday since I figured that our youngst daughter, as smart as she is, wouldn't really have a clue as to what was going on. Well.. let's just say that Vashti explained the importance of first birthdays in her normal calm way.. eek!
The basic jist that I got from the conversation is that all this hubbub over her first birthday isn't really for the child per say, it's for when she's twenty so she can look back at the photos and say sarcastically "Yeah, and my mom made my cake".

[Shrug] At least Maeve will understand what's happening.

I don't know why he has to be so rude.. you wouldn't know it by his post but the 2nd "kid" is as beloved as our first born.. Michael is a big softie for Maeve and even softer for Madigan!~ Don't let him fool you with his skewed blogs there isn't a person alive that loves his girls more than Michael does

harumph
