It's June Fif...as Bri used to call it
before she figured out it had a th!
(And why would we want to correct such a cute thang.)
Brianna
was born 26 years ago today...
our beautiful baby doll .
Chelsea had 2 baby dolls to play with
As luck would have it,
Brianna was brought home to this chicken pox diseased duo
...who couldn't wait to get their hands
on their new baby sister.
Anywhoo....
As some of you know...
our nickname for Brianna is
Wish, Wishy, Sweet Wish, Wish Queen of America
Her nickname comes from the Cinderella song
"A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes."
I would sing her that sweet Disney song at bedtime,
kiss her goodnight and
whisper "goodnight sweet wish."
The funny thing is as time went on...
she started asking for another request before I left her room.
Maybe another sweet Disney song?
naw...
Her favorite request
after she let me humor myself with that sweet sappy song...
Take Me Out to the Ballgame
(to heck with the Disney song mom, let's get rowdy.)
That should have been my clue way back then...
our Sweet Wish was gonna go to
college in Boston,
work in the Seaport District,
live in Southie
and be a wicked monsta Red Sox fan.
Apparently I should have sung
a boisterous rendition of
a boisterous rendition of
"Take Me Out to the Ballgame"...
kissed her goodnight and
whispered
goodnight Sweet Caroline...
ba ba ba
goodnight Sweet Caroline...
ba ba ba
so good, so good, so good
Neil Diamond approved
Happy Birthday Brianna
