Alternate Title: Things I would not have done if it had not been my daughter’s birthday.
- Woken up early to dry her new favorite sweater and finish start birthday treats for school.
- Left the house. For. Any. Reason.
- Eaten half a tub of Rainbow Chip Frosting.
- Almost hit a UPS truck because I couldn’t see clearly through the giant chunk of ice formally known as my window.
- Climbed over the backseat to kick open the door so I could get my little one into her carseat.
- Played “Heads Up 7UP” for the first time in 17 years.
- Climbed into the backseat to kick open the other door so my birthday princess would not have to stumble across the car.
- Cooked dinner—especially fried chicken.
- Cried when I noticed how grown up she looks is.
- Taken half a dozen pictures of my newly-7-year-old perfecting her “super cool grown up” look.
No matter how grown-up they might look, they’re still your babies. Whether they like it or not.
OMG – Heads Up 7Up! I haven’t thought of that in YEARS! Thanks for the memory!
Enjoy the moment – they grow much too quickly
Rainbow Chip Frosting!!!! I love that stuff. I have to remember to bring a tub back to school with me . . .
Oh goodness! I found your site the other day and I was just scrolling through it to paruse…and I saw that YOU are the one that Rachel went out with the other night. I go to the same church as Rachel and she and I have known each other for ages!
I just wanted to introdue myself (Hi, my names Erin, by the way) and wish you a happy day!
