We just went out and picked up Lily’s birthday present…a new trike! We got this one…
I am SO excited to give it to her that I am not even sure I can wait until Wednesday! She loves bikes and always wants to ride Hayden’s trike so she’ll be so happy to have her own. We also got her a cute little helmet with matching knee pads that were 50% off with the purchase of a bike at Zellers.
Corey gave the bike to my Mom to hold onto until her birthday…because he knows me well!
It’s been a busy last couple of weeks. Since getting the new car, it’s been one thing after the other and luckily I now have a car to run all those errands with. There were some baby showers to prepare for and attend and they were SO much fun. I love seeing all the tiny little things and the big round bellies!!
Corey and I both had our birthdays near the end of May and we did a camping trip in the middle. One night with the kids and one night without. They had so much fun at the campfire and we even had some raccoons come and visit our site. It was a tad cold for my liking but we all snuggled together close and managed to stay warm. I didn’t sleep much though and was rather relived when the kids woke up at 7 so we could hop in the car and go get a coffee.
This weekend we helped the MIL move into her new apartment.
Wednesday is Lily’s 2nd birthday. I can’t believe my baby is turning 2. Part of me feels like it was just yesterday that she was a tiny newborn but part of me feels like she’s been in my heart forever. Also, it will be 2 years of breastfeeding for me which is something I am very proud of. I am so happy that I have been able to give this gift of love and dedication to my girl and know that I can continue as long as she needs.
Wednesday is also Hayden’s junior kindergarten orientation. I can’t believe my baby is going to SCHOOL!!! Wow…how time flies. He’s very excited to finally go see his school (which we drive by ALL the time) and meet his teacher AND he gets to take a ride on the school bus. I was very nervous at first but as it gets closer I am getting more and more excited for him. I know he will love it and I know he will do well.
Sunday we are going to have Lily’s birthday party. We are just doing it in the backyard and depending on the turnout (hopefully I get some RSVP’S) we might rent a bouncer. There will be a lot of kids of different ages there so I am not sure what else I can do in terms of games or activities. If it’s nice out I’ll pull out the kiddie pool and the little ones can soak! I was really off this year…for some reason it snuck up on me way too fast. Heck…I JUST filled out the invitations today and will have to hand deliver most of them…LOL!!!
