I'd be seconding the "going nuts over things I can conceptualise and can't do" observation. I observed The Girl first-hand go through these feelings trying to learn to tie shoelaces on Sunday. She KNOWS she can do it. She WILL do it. Why isn't it working?!?!?!

Birthdays begin to make more sense when the little ones start to work out what they are, by attending other people's parties and retaining enough memories of them to begin to anticipate the arrival of their own (I'd venture to say this would be around their fourth or fifth birthday). Even a completely crappily organised and executed party without any fairy bread (it's possible that we experienced this very very recently in our own house) is the best day ever because it's their own birthday party. ^_^

I guess frustration to some degree pushes them forward, but when they are very young it seems to be the source of screaming.

*grin* There was definitely fairy bread - I think it was a new experience to all four kids able to eat it, and eat it they did. Apparently you can buy a sprinkle that's all stars and planets and flowers - very faery-esque - for making fairy bread with, but white bread and hundreds and thousands seemed to work ok :)

I vote for hundreds-and-thousands. Those sprinkles taste a little minty and the bigger they get, the more they taste. All I want is that bread+butter+sugar taste. YMMV ^^

I'd play that game. Hm, perhaps this explains why I play Eve.

Awesome photos. Congratulations on making it to the 1 year mark without any significant mental, physical or emotional damage on all parties concerned.

Your virus/knee of doom notwithstanding.
