A Day to be a "normal" kid...


Whatever "Normal" is anymore... But St. Patty's Day is a day of tradition for Clifford. He takes part in "Leprechaun Hunting". Something I made up a few years ago so they could have fun and take part in St. Patty's Day and learn about their Irish heritage. It makes my heart smile to hear Cliffy reminiscing about the time the Leprechaun "bit" Mommy's finger when she was trying to catch him. Or while walking to the bus stop, the tree branch moves ;), and Cliffy goes, "Did you see, the Leprechaun is following me. I'm gonna have to tell Chad about that when I get home".

Today is a day he can be a normal kid, wear his green, and go Leprechaun hunting. Sure we still have shots and finger pricks, but that isn't the main thing on the menu today. We got some gold to find, and that's WAY more important. Besides once he finds this gold, he has big plans to get some Sugar Free gum...
