Birthday surprise (??)

As I mentioned in the previous blog entry, we got Daddy some Legos for his birthday, and I made the mistake of telling Sierra that it was a secret--a suprise for Daddy, so we shouldn't tell him. That night when he came home I was already upstairs putting Evi to bed and Sierra had been up with me. When she heard him come in, she went racing down the steps shouting, "Daddy, we have a SURPRISE!" I knew at that moment that it was all over! I heard quite a bit of silence after that and naively thought that maybe she had actually been able to keep the secret, but of course, being a secret, she naturally had to whisper it in his ear! I think first she just whispered "Legos", but not being in context and sounding more like "Yedos" Daddy naturally did not quite catch it the first time around. When he clearly had not understood her, she followed up by shouting, "Yedos, for your bufday!!" Then it was all laid clear!
