Ellie- Does my Birthday always have to be on May 1st.
Mom- Yes it does
Ellie- Why can't I have a birthday on May 1st and then change it to a day in July.
Mom- Why would you want to change it to July?
Ellie- So I can have presents and a cake again. {she is pretty clever}
Mom- You can't just change your birthday. Your birthday is the day you were born.
Ellie- Ohhh.... I see! So the day I came out of your belly in the hospital is my birthday.
Mom- Yep you were born on May 1st so that is your birthday.
Ellie- So was there a cake waiting for me with candles to blow out? {with excitement}
Mom- Well...not really. {feeling kind of bad...she was so excited}
Ellie- Was there at least a little cuppy cake with a candle? {with desperation}
Mom- Sorry... no cuppy cake. Babies can't blow and you were a month early and....{Interuption}
Ellie- Mom, but it was my birthday {with frustration}
Mom- I'm really sorry but your first birthday really isn't until you turn one. Mom's don't think about those things when they are getting ready to have a baby. Sorry :( {at least this mom doesn't}
Ellie- Fine...whatever.. But I really do think babies would like cake not just milk when they are born. {with disappointment}
I guess life is full of disappointments. Apparently discovering that as you made your grand entrance into the world and there was not even a glimmer of a cuppy cake for you to lay your newly born eyes upon is a very big one. Who would have thought?

No cake, but maybe she'll be happy if you tell her about the pink bows babies get to wear.
OH, I can't believe you didn't bake a cuppy cake! (oh yeah, I didn't either!)
Miss you guys!
I think you should let her have an extra birthday in July this year to make up for the one you totally blew off. (But then all of the six year olds in the neighborhood will be wanting two birthdays this year, so never mind.)
So Funny! Kids have the most random ways of making parents feel guilty don't they?
I mean I'm sorry you didn't have those cuppy cakes what were you thinking!!! :)
You have such gorgeous kids. I love the blog.
Oh that Ellie. I knew I'd love her...we share the same birthday and the same love for cuppy cakes. So cute...
Cute Headband Ellie!
she is so funny. someday she'll laugh at that story!
Cute little Ellie, you should have just told her yes she got a cup cake and she ate it right up and swished it all down with a guzzle of mommy milk!
That is the best conversation. I just Love kids, they always say the cutest things. Your little girl is soooo adorable.
