My middle child celebrated her sixth birthday yesterday. Two hands, as she says. Over a month of anticipation for the special day... and she got most of her wishes granted:
... pancakes for breakfast
... movie at the theater with father and older sister
... games and rides at a fun center with the whole family
... homemade pizza for dinner with family
... birthday presents galore (her favorite being the gummy snakes she got from our neighbors - and yes, that was on her wish list)
Such a bright star, this one. So full of energy and excitement... And six years ago, I had the most wonderful and peaceful homebirth I could have wished for with her.
Happy birthday, my dear one.
