Telling on my baby

(from Tamie)

Kendall will be 9 on July 9. We will spend that day driving 900 miles across a big chunk of the U.S. OK, not quite 900, but many more than 9.

So we're planning her birthday party a month early for that reason, and so her friends can more likely make it. She's very, very happy about this. So thrilled in fact, that despite all the dancing around, giggling and other exuberance, she could no longer express her joy to her satisfaction.

"I wish I had a tail," she declared, "so I could wag it."

Boy, don't we all.

By the way, she chose the cute little Dalmatian photo above. While she begged me not to share the story. :)
