Birthday Wishes

A few days ago, while the Gonzabloggers lounged in the pool, Little Ted pondered his birthday wish list.  He knew the big day was coming up, and he wanted to wish for just the right gift.

As he pondered, he enjoyed his pool in the typical manner: he stood up, gripped his baby float, and proceeded to walk around the pool.  In fact, he walks in the pool much more often than he walks on dry land.  When he grew tired of this activity, he moved on to his second favorite activity - floating.  Floating gives him the chance to observe the sky, the trees, and the birds.  More importantly, it's very relaxing - at least when he's not bumping into mommy or daddy.  When that happens - and it happens often because the pool isn't that big - he pushes the guilty party out of the way to get to where he wants to go.  Usually, mommy is the one who ends up doing most of the moving, and sometimes it becomes a game, with mommy doing more moving and less relaxing than she had in mind.

Getting back to our story, Little Ted thought long and hard about what he wanted.  He wanted to make sure he asked for just the right gift.  After all, you only turn one once. 

Of course, mommy and daddy were not privvy to the musings of their little boy.  But they could observe his actions and saw that he continued to cross his fingers.  It was as if he was making the birthday wish over and over in his head.  For now, the Gonzablogger trio can only hope that the birthday wishes are met and that Little Ted's first birthday party is a success.
