| Snow! |
Today, BabyDragon was 6. By some cruel quirk of fate, it snowed heavily overnight and unfortunately meant we had to postpone her party. Cue floods of tears and a swift lesson in the difference between "postponed" and "cancelled". Presents went some way to mollifying her though and, after a spot of sledging and a manic show fight, all was well.
SmallDragon#1 learnt a valuable lesson: do not throw a pathetic snowball at your mother when she has a snow shovel full of snow in her hands.

| Birthday Bunny |
My favourite of the birthday gifts was a white crocheted bunny. I'd had the yarn for this in my stash since just before Christmas but not had the time to make it. I had spotted the pattern for the One Skein Bunny on one of my my trawls through the patterns on Ravelry. I crocheted her in Sirdar Supersoft Aran which seemed to have the right balance of firmness and softness. If I were to make her again, I think I would make her legs a good inch or so shorter. Rebecca Rabbit was crocheted over a number of nights after BabyDragon had gone to bed or when she was at her father's.
SmallDragon#1 had been given the task of buying something for her whilst out in town the day before. I'm not entirely sure what I had in mind, perhaps a stuffed unicorn or something similarly cure, but what he came back with was a box of 12 cookies. He ws happy with his choice, BabyDragon was happy with his choice, even SmallDragon#2 was happy with his choice. Sticking a 6 candle onto the plate of cookies saved me from having to bake her a birthday cake so even I was happy with his choice!
