Party Plans

Birthday party planning is in full swing at our house. Cambel is almost as excited about Ada's birthday on the 25th as he is about his on May 1st. (But that might be because he knows there will be cake and not just because he is full of selfless love for his sibling).
This morning while I was starting the day, this is the conversation I overheard Cambel and Ada having while they were both sitting in our bed.

Cambel: Ada, what kind of birthday party do you want? A dog party? (Not sure why he suggested this, since he is has a mortal fear of dogs and Ada hasn't displayed an overt affinity for canines herself)

Ada: A dog party! (How did Cambel know she wanted a dog party?)

Cambel: What kind of cake do you want Ada?

Ada: anana

Cambel: You want a banana cake? (Touching Ada's face as if to comfort her) Ada, your party might not be just the way you want it.
(then to me) Mommy! I need you to make this into a list. Ada wants a dog party with a banana cake.
(back to Ada) I think we are going to get this to work out Ada.

Just for the record, I have no plans of hosting a dog party or making a banana cake for Ada's birthday, but I do think we will manage to pull of a pretty good celebration. Hopefully Cambel will agree.
