It was Melissa's birthday on Friday, but we celebrated yesterday... all day. No longer can I say that my brother has five kids under five, but the information still blows people away:
"Your brother has five kids under six??? That's crazy!" -- the reaction won't change.
Crazy, indeed! Anyway, Melissa is the Queen Bee, and exercises her self-entitlement at any opportunity. The younger kidlets -- Michael, 3, and Maddy, 2 -- receive orders regularly from Miss Melissa, and won't find reprieve once Melissa goes to school. The kidlettes -- the twins -- might have to band together if they find themselves oppressed.
Meanwhile, Melissa enjoyed celebrating all day yesterday, with lots of ice cream and cake at Granny's yesterday, then another round a couple of hours later with Gumpa and Grandma. Even Uncle Alvin is in town for the weekend, which, to a five-year old, translates into: MORE PRESENTS!
