I can’t tell you exactly why we make a fuss about half-birthdays in our home, but it probably has something to do with Piper’s half-birthday is just two weeks from Kyla’s real birthday (and vice versa, if you’re doing the math).
Today, Piper is officially 4 1/2 years old! This means that she gets to go on a special date with Daddy—breakfast at the local café. And we haven’t had a kid go there yet and not order pancakes with M&Ms and whipped cream. And sausages. And orange juice. It’s worth waiting for all year!
Kyla was so excited for her that she helped Piper pick out something especially festive to wear. Kyla’s sense of fashion + Piper’s style =
There are too many things I adore about Piper to list them all here, but contrary to what I guessed about her two-year-old self, Piper is my designated Champion and Helper. Her motto actually is “Make Less Work for Mama”. So today when the band snapped on my unattractive but oh-so-useful watch, she took it and worked really hard on taping it back together for me, even missing the first few minutes of video time to finish it. You’ll notice there is a big gap in the band where the the scotch tape bridges the break. I don’t know if it will even survive being strapped back on to my wrist, but now I really love this watch…and the girl who fixed it for me.
Watch out for this kid—she’s going to take over the world. And maybe…just maybe…it won’t be such a bad thing.
