a very special birthday party
anyone else’s child obsessed with birthdays?
in Lily’s world, it is somebody’s birthday every day
sometimes several times a day
on this particular day, Lily arrived from school and filled with excitement she said to me:
“mama, do you know what today is? it’s tiggie wyggie’s and nora’s birthday!!!! they are four and five today. we have to have a birthday party!!!!!!!!!!!”
and before i could even blink and process what was about to happen, she was upstairs making them birthday cards and asking me for the birthday banner
tiggie wyggie is Lily’s very special baby tiger
she sleeps with her every night, she wants to take her to school…
Lily loves tiggie wyggie
nora, is tiggie wyggie’s friend
i remember being just a little bit older than Lily and having a similar play time imagination
i don’t remember so many birthday parties but, i remember the make believe world i would create in the play/laundry room with the acid green shag rug
i would spend hours in that room
as an adult (even though i am a mama) i don’t always feel like entering that make believe world
but on this particular day, i am glad i did
of course there was birthday/piano singing
Lily and tiggie wyggie
tiggie wyggie’s birthday card
Lily and tiggie wyggie
some guests
some more guests
i’m telling you, it’s love
taking pictures with her phone
tiggie wyggie
nora
and although there were some major tears shed when i said that “no, we cannot bake a real birthday cake”, i did manage to get some real ice cream
fake cookies were just not cutting it

I have a recipe for 3-2-1 cake..then you could have cake as well.
Mix box (dry) 1 step angel food cake mix with a box (dry) any flavor cake mix…store in plastic bag. When ready to bake…3 TBSP cake mix..2 TBSP water…Bake 1 minute in microwave. could be made in custard dish or cup.
