It's my baby's birthday today. My sweet little girl, my first born kid. She is now 8 years old. It's going by too fast, and yet it seems like she's still so little to me. She is stubborn and can drive me crazy, we argue almost every morning getting ready for school over clothes and hair, but she's my baby. She's my fun, silly, smart, beautiful, hyper, imaginative, curious, sweet, kind hearted, wonderful, amazing girl. I love spending time with her, I miss her all the time, even though we live together. I miss my alone time with her that we had for years, it's hard for me to accept the fact that our family will only continue to grow and that I need to share my time with everyone in the house. I am so excited to continue watching her grow up and to see the girl she is going to be. She has my heart forever.
For her birthday, we are planning a party next weekend, but I wanted to do something special for her actual birthday too, so we took Hannah and Madison to Sky High Sports with us so they can have a fun day together. I paid for them to play for 90 minutes. They jumped on the trampolines, they jumped into the soft blocks, Katie swung from the rope, they did the hoola hoops, they went inside a hurricane simulator, they wore themselves out! We rested afterwards with a pizza and Dippin' Dots ice cream before heading home. Since David wasn't able to come with us because of work, we went out to dinner to celebrate as a family. Katie chose Olive Garden, so that's where we went. I wanted to order her a cake and have them sing Happy Birthday to her, but David talked her into getting Cold Stone after instead. Stinkers. I hope she had a great day today, because she totally deserves it. She is my favorite 8 year old and I can't wait to spend the next year with her. I want the best for her in everything she does, she'll always be my baby girl.
