The girls attended their first “big-kid” birthday party today, for my friend’s five-year-old daughter Maddison. When were were driving to the party, I asked the girls what they were going to tell Maddison when we got to her house. I was hoping to hear something along the lines of “Happy Birthday” like we had been practicing. Instead, I heard a little voice in the backseat pipe up: “I want cake!” Good to know they have their priorities straight.
Between marveling at all the big kids, happily diving into someone else’s toys, decorating their own pizzas, and scarfing down delicious cupcakes, the girls couldn’t have been happier! And I was too, since the girls were so entertained that I could actually have some adult conversations with the other moms at the party. Of course, we used our grown-up time to talk about parenting, but I guess that’s what’s on our brains these days!
