My little Hamlet has been looking forward to today with the gusto of Christmas. He woke me up early this morning, his little smiling face inches away from my own as I opened up my eyes. Before I was fully awake, he cheered "Happy Pancake Day Momom."
This year's family calendar features a different holiday each day. Unlike other versions, this calendar features not only the words but a small image depicting the holiday for each date. I didn't realize it when it was purchased, but the pictures on each date is a game changer for Timmy.
Every morning he looks at the calendar, "reading" the holiday for the day. Each night he looks ahead to see what we will be celebrating tomorrow. For a little boy who loves holidays and celebrations, declaring the daily holiday on our pictorial calendar has become a favorite part of his routine.
Pancake Day has been one which has been anticipated since the calendar turned to February. It is circled in red and we (he) has been counting down for weeks. Thanks to an episode of celebrating Pancake Day on The Adventures of Paddington Bear, the excitement for a pancake celebration reached a fevered pitch over the weekend.
In a world overflowing with grim and gloomy news, I find Timmy's eagerness to celebrate anything and everything refreshing and rejuvenating. Today we will be having pancakes for dinner to celebrate. Happy Pancake Day!
