Dear Hagen,
Two days after Christmas, you turned three.
Determined not to let this birthday sneak up on me, I started soliciting your input about possible birthday activities weeks in advance. And this is how it finally went down:
Mom: Hagen, do you want to have a party?
Hagen: No t'anks.
Mom: No pinata? No games?
Hagen: No.
Mom: You want to go to the Carousel?
Hagen: No.
Mom: The library?
Hagen: No.
Mom: The gymnastics place?
Hagen: No. 'ont want to imnassics.
Mom: Well, I know you don't like swimming or sledding or skiing, and you're too small for the bounce house place. Hell, I don't know...want to just invite your friend Finley over and play blocks and have a piece of cake and call it a day?
Hagen: Yeah. OK.
So that's just what we did.
And just like you, it was low-key, special and perfectly fun.
Love,
Mom
