Well, yesterday was my birthday. I turned twenty-six and it was very much not a big deal. Andrés had to work, so I mostly just hung out with Alliclaus and pretended it wasn't my birthday. There were the obligatory phone calls from family, but mostly I just ate almost an entire Bailey's Irish Cream Cake and relaxed.
As a birthday gifl to me, Alliclaus learned to clap, so all day I was treated to random little rounds of applause, which I really think all people should enjoy on their birthdays. It puts a little spring in your step. If you ever get up off the couch, that is.
Back to work tomorrow.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Bethiclaus,

what was that movie where someone invented a musicbox, but instead of music it applauded when you opened it, just so someone could have someone cheer for them anytime they needed it?
happy birthday!

Happy B-day.
I remember when my 2 year old learned to clap. They are so proud of themselves when they do it!
