Your First Birthday

Yesterday was your first birthday. But you were too young to realize. You waked up as early as every day before and asked for going out door by pointing the door with your little finger. So your grandfather took you out in his arms. One hour later, when you came back, the roof and wall of the living room were full of colors of balloons. You paid all your attention by opening your eyes widely to the colorful balls. Your uncle Yang, who lives downstairs, took a toy, a blue jumping horse, to you at the early morning. Your father made it inflated. When you rode on it, You were very happy to open your mouth and made the only 6 new teeth out. At the same time, your father was taking photos for you and the little horse. Your grandma and grandmother began to cook lunch at 7 o’clock.

According to the custom, you need to draw lots. So your mother prepared calculator, mouse, seal, car model, writing brush, dictionary, cash, camera, table tennis bats, a ruler the day before yesterday, and boiled an egg at the morning. All the things were arranged in a line, and you are put on the floor. Your crawled immediately to the line and took the writing brush at first, then you took the egg. The writing brush is one symbol of Calligrapher, painter, and the egg shows that you will not hungry in the future. But your mother thought it is not good enough, so she arranged the things again in another order, and she put the money and seal in the middle. However, you are as clinging as last time to choose the writing brush and the egg. What you have done made all of us laughing at once. But as you know, no matter what you choose, we will be lucky as we wish, and this is not the really symbol of your future development. So, just be yourself.

After the scrumptious lunch, we cleared the dining table and took out the birthday cake, which was booked by your mother yesterday afternoon, from the refrigerator. You are so excited when you saw the big cream cake. Your aunt, Mrs. Hu, lighted your first birthday candle, and your father set the camera to take videos. Your mother blew out the candle before you can do that. And, at last, your birthday party ended with a happy song that named “Happy birthday to you!”

“ Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you…”
