Elmo Birthday Fun (Again)

Tabitha's Elmo birthday party was a big success! Thanks to all who helped to make it one. This year she really understood what were birthdays are about. Cake, presents, and a party, of course! She does get the concept of being a certain number and proudly tells everyone, even complete strangers in Target, that she is 3. She holds up the requisite 3 fingers as proof.

As a matter of fact she thinks she should have at least 3 of everything now that she is 3. Her Daddy told her just last night that she could either quit playing in his plate of food or get down out of his lap. She loves to finish her dinner then annoy her Daddy from his lap while he tries to finish eating. As her annoying behavior continued, he gave her the empty threat of getting off his lap or behaving. Her big brother told her, "Tabi, as I see it, you have 2 choices. Leave Dad's food alone or get down." "No, Tyler, I have 3 choices," she replied holding up 3 fingers. Silly Tyler forgot to count the choice where she does what she wants to do.
