Brin has recently taken to launching herself between the downstairs couch and the ottoman. Before she springs, she’ll raise her hands above her head and shout, “To in-fi-ti-ty!”

Brin just shoved a head massager on top of my head. With a huge grin on her face, she looked me in the eyes and said, “Happy Birthday!”

Brin is in her jammies. She just put her purse on, went up to Mommy, and said, “Let’s go pop store!” (pet store).

Brinley has been watching the Annie movies recently, and she loves the soundtrack. A few times a day she will sing, “Wife… for US!” and, swinging her hands with abandon, will throw whatever she’s holding.

As we’re walking out of daycare we see a few flocks of geese fly right over our heads.

I ask Brinley, “Where are the geese going to?”

”Santa!”

It’s Brinley’s second birthday tomorrow.

Sarah asks Brin, “Brinley, how old are you going to be tomorrow? Two?”

To which Brinley emphatically replies, “NO two. Five!”
