There are a lot of September birthdays in our extended family. (Eleven, to be exact.)
One of them is Lydia's.
Lydia was born a week overdue.
She was worth the wait.
Lydia is our only dark-haired and (relatively) tan-skinned kid.
Lydia is a song-bird.
Lydia dresses up pretty much every day.
We love her deep voice.
Lydia is persuasive, using rock-solid logic and assuring head-nods.
Lydia has some of my favorite facial expressions.
Lydia loves fun.
And pigs.
And ice pops.
And play-doh.
And stamps.
And cupcakes.
There was exactly, precisely one thing that Lydia wanted for her birthday. For weeks (months?) there was only one answer she gave when I asked her what she might like. It was the same answer every time...
"A rainbow clown wig."

I thought that's what *scott* wanted for his bday. Shoot, now I gotta return it...
The face says it all. I love it when kids' zany dreams come to life!
I love it! All of it. Great description of Lydia! Talk about a dream come true---the "rainbow clown wig" picture says it all. Happy 4th birthday to dear, sweet, wonderful Lydia.
PS ~ Brad, I'll be returning the wig I bought for Scott, too.

I am so glad I could introduce Lydia to the perfect birthday present. She looks lovely in all that color!
