Today is May 1st! The first day of the glorious month in which Tess celebrates her birthday. She has been waiting — WAITING — for this month for quite a while now. She has been planning her birthday party for at least six weeks, and carefully wrote out all of the invitations herself. And today, after the ceremonial flipping of the calendar to the new month (complete with musical accompaniment by Grace), Tess headed upstairs to choose the outfit she will wear on her birthday (note the crown). The outfit will stay there for the next thirteen days (and don't you even think about moving it!). And then tonight at bedtime, after I turned off the light, she turned to me and said, "Mom! We have to make a party hat for Marshmallow!" Yep, May is going to be a lot of fun.
