Today, I celebrated my birthday and it was a good one. Last night, we went to my favorite barbeque place, Q. It is a good place to take Bridget. It is a large open room where you can watch the cooking being done, with occasional flames shooting up, good times.... this morning Bridget got up at her customary crack of dawn, literally, 5 a.m...Megan made her fantastic pancakes from scratch, funny moment when Bridget realized she had sticky fingers, kept saying "sticky" and cracked herself up for five full minute belly laugh, saying "sticky"... she is so cute and cuddly... I took her to the park as per usual on the weekend, she cheers when we arrive and loves to see other kids, there is so much there, slides, swings, tunnel, sandpit, etc., I feel like a bodyguard foll lowing her around, making sure she doesn't jump off anything too high, she took a gentle header at the end of one slide ride... we had lunch and took a great nap, Bridget sleeping nearly two hours, yeah!!!... we met grandma and poppy at a local Irish restaurant, they gave me the recent Colonel Roosevelt book and a nice card, my dad giving me the highest compliment of being a "gentleman and scholar". Bridget ate up her veggies and some steak and took in all the stimuli (only downside having lots of TVs on, tuned to football). She loved looking at all the people. The best part was live Irish music provided by two musicians who were terrific. Bridget got up and was mesmerized by them, then she started dancing and was joined by two other "big girls", perhaps 4 and 6 years old. It was adorable to watch her dance along to the music of her people, she is so social, we'll have our hands full years from now. She called me over and my heart melted as it always does with her... she even sang me her happy birthday song before falling asleep... it doesn't get any better. I am very blessed with Megan and Bridget.
