I act like it's my birthday every day

-Taylors Pov-

"shhh, wait for me princess" I hear mumbling in the room, pulling me out of a deep sleep. But I don't get to react before the singing starts and I open my eyes.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear mommy, happy birthday to you" Thea sings at the top of her lungs with Travis joining her and I can't help the grin forming on my face.

I sit up in bed and lean against the headboard "Good morning, thank you for the pretty song" I say, and they both climb into bed with me, with wrapped presents in their arms.

Normally Michelle goes with Thea to buy me a birthday present, but Travis insisted on doing it this year. I don't really need gifts, I feel like I have everything I could ever want, but I humor them because they wanted to do this for me.

"Mommy, we got you presents. You're getting old, you're so many years old but I can still count so far" Thea rambles on and start counting to 34 dutifully. I look over at Travis amused as we listen to her count.

"32...33...34. I did it!" she chimes and wiggles so much I need to hold onto her, so she doesn't fall off the bed. "you're so good at counting sweetie. I'm so proud of you."

"Can you open my gift first? I wrapped it all by myself" she says and holds out a square box with wrapping paper that falling apart. She sure wrapped this herself. I take the present from her and carefully open it. inside there is a bunch of workout clothes and a drawing she made.

"wow, did you draw this? It's so pretty" I say and look at the drawing of me on stage with loads of people watching me. "it's you singing" she announces and starts pulling out the workout clothes. "and this is because you like to go to the gym. And you always complain that you don't have enough clothes for that. I picked them all myself."

I can tell she picked them from the bright colors, but I love it. it's all from Lululemon and it seems that Travis took a peek at my size in what I brought with me to KC. She is right though; I work out a lot. I don't have a choice when I have three-and-a-half-hour shows that are pretty intense. I work with a personal trainer to stay in shape both while I'm touring and when I'm on break.

"thank you, sweetie. I love it. now I have plenty of workout clothes and a new drawing to hang on the fridge back in New York" At home in New York I trade which of her drawings displayed on the fridge when she makes a new one. All the old ones are filed away in a folder for safekeeping. I don't have the heart to throw any of them away, I've kept every single one she has ever made for me.

"We can hang it on my fridge since you're here for a while" Travis suggests which makes Thea really happy. "I'm a really good artist" she announces, and I praise her of course. I always give her plenty of praise for whatever she does.

"Now you need to open Travis's present. I know what it is, but I'm not allowed to say" she bounces and Travis chuckles as he hands me a thin rectangular box. "she has been really good at keeping it a secret. I'm impressed," he says and Thea nods.

"I'm good at keeping secrets. But mommy says I'm only allowed to keep good secrets, not bad secrets. You need to tell bad secrets to an adult" she nods to herself as she repeats what I told her in New York after she spoke with the lawyer. I'm impressed that she remembers it, but she does have a good memory.

I carefully unwrap the present and it reveals a Tiffany blue box. I look between Travis and the box once before opening it. it's a bracelet, and my heart melts when I see it resembles a friendship bracelet, but it has TNT on it.

"I love it" I carefully pick it up from the pillow it rests on and hold it closer so I can see it better.

"I wanted to get you something meaningful, and I figured since it all started with a friendship bracelet it was a good way to go. It also means you always have a piece of me with you, even when I'm miles away. Maybe it's cheesy" he rubs the back of his neck and I reach over to take his hand away. "I love it, I really do. help me put it on."
