Happy Birthday, C!

This video was taken about a week after Sunflower came home.  C. was wearing one of J.'s Philippines tee-shirts.  It says, "Mabuhay" on the front, which means, "Hello" in Tagalog. Instinctively, C. went into Sunflower's room, got her Ethiopian drum, and began to sing and dance his "Mabuhay!" song to her!  He was really jamming before I got the video camera, but you get the idea.  C. is our exuberant one who always wants everyone to feel welcome and at home!

Furthermore on C., I knew there would come a time, maybe when he turned twelve, when C.'s clothes would fit me.  However, I was not prepared for Tim to fold the laundry just before C.'s THIRD birthday and ask, "Is this yours or C.'s?"  Granted, I'm a bit small, and these sweats hit me at the shin, but really...THREE?!?!  (By the way, mine are black.)

And finally, C.'s funny lines of the week:

C.: Mom!  I wan' go Donalds!

Me: We don't have money for McDonalds tonight, C.

C.: I have money.

Me: You have money?  Where?

C.: Uhm...in Dad's pocket!

That's where I keep my money too! ;)

C.: Mom!  I want chicken nuggets. 

Me: You already ate, C.

C.: I know, but I want cookies.

Me: Cookies?!  I'm glad you're honest, C.  I love you.

C.: So then... can I have cookies?

(OK-I gave the kid a cookie; it's his birthday!)  Happy Birthday, C.  We love you!
