Do I get extra brownie points in heaven for helping my little boy celebrate his stuffed puppy's birthday? Last Thursday was the big event at our house. Five years ago, my co-workers threw me a going away party as I quit my job to stay home with my new baby. As part of a baby gift, they gave us a stuffed puppy. That puppy has become part of our family. He goes to church with us. He goes on vacation with us. He goes grocery shopping with us. I don't think there's anything we do without that dog present. So, it was only appropriate that we celebrate his special day.
No birthday celebration is complete without a cake. So, as silly as it may seem, we made a cake for this stuffed dog. Cupcakes, actually, with sprinkles and chocolate frosting. To make matters even sillier, we sang happy birthday to it as Adam blew out the candle. Then, we all headed to the bowling to finish the celebration.
A very silly day, indeed. However, one thing I'm learning as a parent is that if it is important to them (the kids), it's important to me. I'm sure Sprocket's birthday celebration will be an annual event from here on out.
