Melanie's birthday

I took Melanie out shopping for Meredith's birthday presents today, and since she knows hers is right around the corner, we started talking about her birthday. I asked her what she wanted from Mommy and Daddy for her birthday, and she said she wasn't sure what she wanted but she would think about it. So, she didn't say much for the next half hour, and all of a sudden, she exclaims, "Mommy, I know what I want for my birthday." I was expecting maybe a t.v. for her room or some Tangled toy, but she comes out with, "A trip to Paris." Gotta love a girl that thinks BIG! I gently explained that it was a great idea, but probably not what we had in mind for a 5th birthday gift, and she was okay with that. So a few minutes later she says, "Well, maybe you can take me to that place in Kennesaw that you went to for your birthday. That would be pretty close to Paris." (A side note: For my birthday, Eric took us to a hotel in Kennesaw with an indoor pool so we could go swimming in February.) I wish that Mel could always stay this sweet and innocent!!
