My very first birthday party
The day of my big party finally arrived. I was lots of fun! We had lots of guest and lots of food!
Texas Grandma baked two different kinds of birthday cake. She also made the Texas portion of the birthday spread: brisket, pork and beans and potato salad (which we forgot to put out!). California Grandma made Malaysian food: Won-tons, sticky-rice and everyone’s favorite satay with yummy satay sauce. Unkie Jon cooked the satay that Ah-ma prepared. Mommy made coconut shrimp. And they had the nerve to try to feed me baby food! I’m so over that phase.
Friends of all ages stopped by. My long-time friend Mia Juliet stopped by from Texas. She brought her parents and her grandma. My other long-time friend and confidant, Hannah, also came by. She gave me lots of tips on being the guest of honor. Some noobs to the baby-scene also showed up. Bill and Jennifer brought Charlotte (circa 5 months old). Roxanne brought Sam (10 weeks old).
I wore a special princess hat and a special princess sash. A girl could get used to this. Oh, and did I mention presents!! Yes, indeed. There were presents for little ol’ one-year-old me. Thanks kith and kin!!

Another girl named Widget
Twice this week, I learned that I’m not the only girl named Widget. Apparently, one lucky hare has the same name. She’s pink, fluffy, wears overalls and likes science. She’s on Wow Wow Wubzy, a cartoon on the Nick Jr. and Noggin networks. She even has her own blog (actually, the show’s creators).
According to Wikipedia, Widget is described as…
Whenever there is a problem that needs to be fixed, she replies with her catchphrase, "No problemo!" She can fix and invent an endless stream of cleverly named devices (usually ending with the version number 3000), including a robotic chicken that lays a hundred eggs a minute, and a thirty-screen television (The Videotron 3000). Unfortunately, something always goes wrong, resulting in her usual reply, "That wasn’t supposed to happen!" She speaks with a stereotypical Southern accent.
I got to peek at it but daddy doesn’t like me to watch too much TV. All those commercials, he says, will make me want more toys in the future.
