Do You Have a Receipt?

Tomorrow is Harper's first birthday. On Saturday a small group of family and friends will gather at our house to celebrate. Presumably many of them will bring gifts. Unfortunately, after opening gifts with me yesterday, Harper has amended her wish list to:

1. Wrapping paper scraps.
2. Possibly another dog, just as excitable, a bit smaller.

At least fifteen minutes of delight were had by all, audience included, as Harper "fed" Rebound paper scraps and watched him rip them to shreds. She was doing that great belly-laughing that only babies seem capable of. And fifteen minutes is an impressive amount of time for Flash to pay attention to anything these days. Don't think I won't be saving all the wrapping paper from her birthday and Christmas. I just figured out what we'll do from 9-9:15 every morning for the next few weeks!
