Yesterday morning, before I left for work, Eva came to me and said, "I'm ready to have another birthday."
I ran to the calendar and looked. . . YUP! August 20!!
"Lucky you, little girl! It's your half birthday!"
We haven't been talking about half-birthdays, so it was just pure luck she said this to me on that particular morning. She asked for presents, and I explained to her that presents are for whole birthdays, but for half-birthdays we could absolutely celebrate with cupcakes.
Sure enough, the first thing she asked me when I walked in the door last night was, "Did you bring me a birthday present?"
"No. But I have cupcakes."
Good enough.
