(Mala)Props

My baby - who turns 9 today?! - just asked me if I've ever heard of a bad kind of crime called "store-lifting".

That's pretty cute, if I do say so myself.

Happy birthday, M!

M at age 7

  7. This is an important day for you too, K. Tell your little darling her birth story - start to finish. Kids dig it.

  10. Thank you everyone - from me and from M - for your lovely birthday wishes!

    Miss C: The Uggs recently died and it was very painful for all concerned.

    Auntie Imelda: We know you have some good tricks up your sleeve.

    Imogen: The time goes fast - except when it doesn't :-)

    Tessa: I have told her but the story was actually fairly traumatic for everyone so I've had to tone it down a little. This day, while very happy, is also fraught with complexity for me. It was the start of a very hard week 9 years ago (which rolled into a very extended and anxious period). One day I'll write about it.

  16. She's just adorable. My smartass parents would have laughed at me and insisted that that's when someone lifts up an entire store and tries to run away with it. Jerks :)

  18. La C: Thanks!

    Janet and Wendy: Thank you so much!

    GJ: We went out for dinner with her friend on her actual bday. Then she went to that friend's for a sleepover. On Friday (the day after) we had a sleepover with M plus 4 other girls (eeek). We went for dinner to a local pasta place with those girls and some grown up friends of M and ours. Then the girls came back for a movie sleepover party. Yes, I am so exhausted right now. But, amazingly, she's at another sleepover tonight. So I'm drinking some wine...

    Kate: Thanks. I will email the address again. No rush, of course.

    Thanks Stacey, E8 and Hammie!
