I love you, I really do! For taking time out of your day to make up pretty, pretty pages after pages of greetings for Kodi’s Birthday (which, btw, is on Sunday, the 30th). When dear RB Dans sent me a link for schooling tips that she had compiled, I fell for her trick, hook and line. What a bait it was! To offer schooling tips for a frazzled mom whose kid is crying his way to school!
The fact that I have been following her blog for a while now and could not have missed such a post, or that a simple html page was taking too long to open up, or that only a week ago we pulled the same trick on Poppins, or that Poppins was convinced that today was Kodi’s birthday - none of it struck me at all!
In hindsight, how dense must I be to have missed all those signs!
But that’s good right?! Your surprise had its full effect! I was thrilled to see so many wishes, even from people I didn’t know read the kronicles.
As someone commented in an earlier post, Kodi is indeed blessed and rich in love – love from people he hasn’t even met. Who know him only through my words, and through pictures of the back of his head.
I’ll show him your wishes tonight and report his reaction!

Tchah. I wanted to send out a message to ddmom as soon as you told me that his birthday was on 30th not 27th. But then I figured that this would keep the element of surprise going so..
Am glad you enjoyed it !
