"Laurel, guess what's in two days?"
(Not really, but since Laurel defines birthdays not as the day you were born, but the day you get cake, candles, M&Ms, jelly beans, and presents, her "birthday" will be on Saturday.)
Smiles. Lots of jumping. "Warwuh ERPDAY!"
"Yes, Laurel, your birthday is in TWO days!"
Jumping stops. "No two days! No two days! EIGHT days!"
"Laurel, look at this calendar. Here is today, and here is tomorrow, and then THIS day is your birthday. That's TWO days from now."
Stomping begins, coupled with flailing arms and wails of protest. "Eight days! Eight days! EIGHT DAYS!!!!!"
Tears.
"You want your birthday to be in eight days?"
"Yes!"
"Hmmm...OK, Honey. It's in eight days."
Happiness. Rejoicing. "Warwuh erpday eight days! Yay!!!!!"

Yep, that ahhhh sounds about right there. Can she count her days, or will she be sad when her birthday is sooner than she wants? :) Love the innocence of children!
