Birthdays cause a lot of excitement in our home. Daddy turned 40 today and we have been talking about it for weeks. Taylor would say, "My Daddy is having a birthday, he is going to be 14." Then I would say, "Forty." This morning when Taylor woke up I reminded her it was Daddy's birthday. "Yes, Mommy, Daddy is 40."
"That is right, Taylor."
"When will I be 40, Mommy?"
"Taylor, you will be 40 in 36 years."
"How do the numbers turn?" I proceeded to count from 4 to 40 for her.
Growing up I can remember always wanting to be older than I was. I sure hope Taylor isn't infected with the same illness. Oh to enjoy each day as it comes, I am doing my best to model this for her. I just pray it is a lesson she learns early.
I pray that same prayer too! =)
