Yesterday was a whirlwind kind of day. In terms of birthday ideals I'd say it had a low score on the joy scale. I hope it's not representative of birthdays to come for my little peanut. I think we are all looking forward to the end of this week. It's been challenging, emotional, and exhausting. On Sunday we will be celebrating Andreas 2nd birthday so I hope we will all be in better moods then.
I'm not personally big on birthdays, but I get into it if it makes someone else's day. My husband and son love their birthdays. Isaac is already planning his 5th birthday in July and Dave is always secretly checking the bank statement for any surprise gifts. It's fun and exciting, all the planning and anticipation. I get into it and take simple tasks such as baking a cake very seriously. After all, isn't it all about the cake?
Andrea is 2! Yes it is cliche but can you believe it? I don't have a baby anymore. My nursing days will soon be over and I'm starting to miss them. I am embracing newfound independence though I could do without the temper tantrums. The last few weeks have been marked by an unprecedented language and intellectual explosion in this little one. Witnessing such change brings me closer to God our creator.
Today is Valentines Day, not a big deal in this household either. I don't feel like it but I'm going to make some treats for my family. I know they will appreciate them and just maybe bring a smile to my honey who has had the toughest week of all of us. Showing kindness has a double benefits, I too am in need of love. So that's what I will do today.
Happy Valentines Day!
