Birthday Game

Fiona has a new favorite game which she first started playing in San Diego. We're not sure if she picked it up at day care or from a video Nonni and Pop have of Tigger getting a party in the Hundred Acre Woods, but Fiona loves to play "birthday."

She starts by shouting out "Birthday! Birthday!" Then everybody, including Fiona, has to put a "hat" on his or her head (i.e. the nearest stuffed animal, a napkin ring, etc.) and sing the happy birthday song (which Fiona has picked up) before blowing out the (imaginary) "candle" on the "cake" (some other nearby object, like a napkin).

As soon as we're done, Fiona wants to start right over, with everybody putting on hats and repeating the song.

I hope she isn't expecting a real birthday too soon -- she's got another 4½ months before she turns two.
