"What do you think, Babygirl? You think J.J.'s gonna like it?"
"Yaya." Sara nodded happily and pointed up at the Curious George birthday cake. "Mun-kee."
"Yep. This is the one you helped pick out." Nick laughed and pet Sara's head. "Okay, Sara. Stay close. We're going home now."
"Okee." Sara followed right behind him. So close, in fact, that he had to keep checking where she was to make sure he didn't trip.
The cake went into the back of Nick's truck, along with the two dozen colorful balloons that were already floating around in there. There were even more balloons floating in the backseat.
"Ooo..." Sara reached for a balloon as she was being strapped in. Nick handed her a bundle to hold while he drove them home, very slowly.
"Sara, do you remember what we're going to say when we get home?" At a red light, Nick turned to check on Sara and the balloons.
"Happy!"
Nick chuckled. He'd have to practice the rest of that with her later.
