Today is the middle Llama-ette's sixth birthday. As is her wont when happy, she seemed to levitate around the house this morning several inches off the floor. Happy Birthday, indeed.

She's having a Build-A-Bear party this weekend. Why in Heaven's name the gel wants another teddy bear is beyond me - she has a whole Praetorian Guard of them now. However, considering the JonBenet Wannabe glamour parties that many girls her age seem to be having nowadays, I'm not grumbling too much at this innocent entertainment.

Build a bear is the way to go. My daughter loves it, the bear means much more to her than a purchased one.

And I'm a happy camper too, after finding one f'in bear NOT made in China.

I admit, that Build-a-Bear thing is quite new on me. It's been a while since I got down on the floor with the Blues Clues set. But I guess I'd better warm up those knees, hey? Heh.

And yeah. I still think that they should be CHILDREN for as long as humanly possible.

Happy Birthday Six-Year-Old Llamaette!!

Thankee, Margi. I had been speculating the past couple days since you now appear to be in what we call The Zone, that your latest might wind up sharing her birthday. Looks like that isn't happening. However, since my youngest turns four on Saturday, you've still got a shot at the Llama connection.

Happy Happy!! You've got to admit that Build-a-Bear is a whole lot better than Chuck E. Cheese!

Nothing wrong with having two sets of Praetorian Guards. Then you get to play "who gets to name the emperor"

I refuse point blank ever to step into a Chuck-E-Fargin'-Cheese, as Lileks calls it. I know I said the same thing about Disney World, but this time I'm utterly serious.
