Someone Loves Birthdays
Monday was my birthday. It was just a regular, run of the mill birthday. It wasn’t a big milestone birthday, I was just turning 33, kinda boring. But to Maya it was a special day just because it was a birthday. Every birthday is awesome in Maya’s eyes.
When she woke up I asked her if she remembered what day it was, her eyes light up and she gasped before saying “It’s Mommy’s birfday, happy birfday, Mommy!!!” It was music to my ears and absolutely made my day.
Of course, in Maya’s world birthdays are synonymous with cupcakes. Before she was even finished eating her breakfast she was already asking about cupcakes. I had promised her that as a special treat for Mommy’s birthday we would go to the cupcake bar and get cupcakes for lunch. I told her she could pick whatever cupcake she wanted. What more could a cupcake loving 2 year old ask for than her choice of whatever giant sized cupcake she wanted 
She picked out the “orange” one, better know as Dreamsicle (tastes exactly like a creamsicle popsicle)
After her first bite of the “orange” cupcake that was the size of her head she exclaimed “mmmm, good cupcape, mommy, good cupcape.”
I’m glad Maya enjoyed celebrating my birthday with me. Having her be so excited and showering me with birthday hugs and endless “happy birfday, mommy” wishes made it a pretty special day for me.
Thank you Maya (and Lorne) for making my birthday special
How sweet is she? I can’t wait to hear Ava say that to me.
Of course, she’ll be the same way about cupcakes. It was fun to see her tear into her cake this year, as opposed to last year where she looked at us like “what am I supposed to do with this?”
the last pic of you guys is so sweet. m is so excited.
also, is that gigantic balloon as gigantic as it seems or is it a camera trick?
Heck, in my world, birthdays are defined as cupcakes too! Glad it was a good day.
oh man these are so sweet. i loved all the pics. what a sweet girl
