Happy Birthday Sophie!

Sophie has been excited all week for the big 03. She was told that her party is this weekend and that her birthday was on Saturday. Well Saturday rolled around and Carrie sang her Happy Birthday. Sophie broke out in tears and told her to stop singing. Was she upset that she was getting older? Nope. "Today isn't my birthday. Tomorrow is my birthday." "No, tomorrow is your birthday party. Today is your birthday." "Are my friends coming today?" "No, they are coming tomorrow for your party." "Today is not my birthday." Eventually she warmed up to the idea when some presents came out. Nothing says 'birthday' like ripping open a gift.

On an unrelated note, Genevieve and Sophie really like They Might Be Giants. they both love "Istanbul, Not Constantinople." For a while Sophie would ask, to our complete confusion, to hear the "Bull" song. The words are a little fast for Genevieve but it is funny to hear her sing: "Even old New York was once new Hamsterdam."
