The Things About Nephers

You had THREE birthday parties: 1 in Holmdel, two in Philadelphia. The most special for me was the one on your birthday, when you walked back and forth and back and forth, babbling and laughing and making silly, goofy, squinchy faces, while your mom and I talked about you and cupcakes and other grown-up stuff.

The other parties were super special, but you were a little stunned the whole time. All those big, tall bodies and loud voices looking down at you. A bunch of people went for a walk with you around the block so you'd sleep. And you did. You slept for while. But when you woke up, we were all still there. And you did not look happy about it. You looked puzzled, weary, curious, annoyed, and just tired and overwhelmed. You looked SO cute.
