15 minutes

A sense of time is something that takes quite awhile for kids to get a firm understanding of. Allie still has no clue. We've been telling Allie that Mommy's birthday is next and then her birthday is after Mommy's. That made total sense to her.

Jenny's birthday came and it was a good day (minus the scheduling conflicts I caused). The next day Allie announces at the breakfast table that she is ready for her birthday party to start...in 15 minutes. It's was still two weeks away.

For the next two weeks Allie invited everyone she saw (old, young, friends, strangers) to her birthday party that would start in 15 minutes.

Poor kid...it was probably the longest 15 minutes of her life!
