I broke one of the cardinal rules of parenting.

Never, ever, ever, ever, EVER inform a toddler of a REALLY SUPER DUPER fun thing that you are going to do with them until the MINUTE you do it. For reals, yo.

So.... peanut's 3rd birthday gift from us is going to be attending a concert of the Fresh Beat Band. Whom she adores..."Mommy! The Fresh Beat Band lives on a stage!"

When is the concert, you ask?  October.  Many many months away... and tonight, when a commercial came on, I exclaimed, "Peanut look! We're going to go see them for your birthday!"

Reagan thought her birthday was tonight, naturally.  And that we were going to see the Fresh Beat Band tonight, naturally.  And now... every single night, from now until October, she will ask, "Mommy! Can we go see the Fresh Beat Band today?!" And she will be devastated when I say, "Not yet honey."

Parenting mishap number 45, 679... and counting....
