"Happy to you Mommy"
Jon had to leave tonight to go on a business trip. He feels so bad having to miss my birthday, again, but at least he will only be gone for a week.
Addie has started to understand the idea of birthdays thanks to Dora and birthday parties for friends. She really thought that I needed to have a cake with candles and balloons. I thought I was going to have to back a cake for myself tomorrow just for Addie's sake. Jon came through for us tonight though. When the kids woke up he had all of this waiting for me.
He and Addie sang me Happy Birthday and then Addie helped me blow out my candles. Jon had to leave after this, but Addie and I are getting ready to enjoy some yummy cake with a strawberry. I am such a lucky girl.
