The Birthday Blues

November 1st was Aunt Perri's b-day. Me and the girls called her and they were so excited for her b-day party. Jayden had found a "coupon" for her birthday gift. It was a $10 off if you spend $50 or something like that. She carried it around all day asking when we were going to get her present. About half way through the day I realized that I wasn't going to make it to Toy R Us. I tried gently to let them down and they both started crying. They are in a phase that whatever Jayden wants Sissy wants and whatever Jayden does sissy does. But these were real genuine tears. It is November 6th and they are still asking when Aunt Perri is coming. That is what I told them when I was letting them down oh so gently. I said that Aunt Perri will come and visit us and we can celebrate her birthday when she comes and visits.
