Birthdays

One of the ways I have learned to remember my two oldest granddaughter’s birthdays is to first remember my own. My birthday falls exactly in the middle of their birthdays. I was explaining this to Raeven today on the way to pick up a card and gift for the oldest one. I told her that if my birthday fell on Friday, then Kylie’s birthday would also fall on a Friday, but exactly a week before mine. And Ashley’s birthday would fall on a Friday too, exactly one week after my birthday. Every year, I explained, our birthdays are always on the same day, just a week apart. She was very quick to respond “a week and a few years!” I just wanted to pinch her two little cheeks, shake her head from side to side and tell her how cute she is!!!
