Happy Birthday…to me!July 9
It’s my Birthday! Today is the big day. I just know I’ll see Rachel – and she’ll sing to me! M. Darcy, miri, Tribefan, PepeNY and I all went to the zoo for the big birthday party - Daria is going to join us later in the day. When I got to the zoo, they had cake, cookies, and party favors. All of this just for me?
One of the things they gave away were cute little “take out” boxes. They were just the perfect size for me!
They had smart people there telling the crowds all about pandas. They also had the crate that my parents arrived at the zoo in. They came all they way from China. That’s even farther away than Rachel is.
It felt weird watching my real self enjoying my birthday fruitsicle with mom. I really wished I could have joined in on that. Sometimes, I miss my mom something awful. But I guess I shouldn’t say that now that I’m a big boy.
I got to meet a lot of important people! This is Lisa:
She is very important - she takes care of the pandas at the zoo. She also writes about me for the zoo. I think she does a good job letting the world know how darn cute I am.
This is a very nice woman - she is a photographer who lets the zoo sell her photos to make money for the pandas (we are very expensive). She’s there all the time and it was nice seeing her up close for a change.
They also had a giant fake panda there. His fur looked rather hot and I worried that he wasn’t going to make it through the day. Pandas aren’t used to this hot weather, you know. He happily posed for a photo with me, though.
Sadly, Rachel never showed up. But there were so many people there, maybe I just never saw her. That’s possible right?

Glad you had a happy birthday, little Tai Sham. I hope you’ll find Rachel before your next one!
