Abigail is six. CRAZY! Her birthday is December fifth and, as well as, all of you know our schedules seem so busy during this time. A few years ago I thought it would be great for a half birthday, with Abbie sharing the birthday with her two cousins.. which I'm sure everyone out in my blog world knows this.. My sister was totally on board for it and we did a half party the first Sunday in June. Well, with Abbie being my social little butterfly, I was not aware how important it would be to her having a party on the actual day. I know, what was I thinking?!?! I'm not sure what is going to happen to the half birthday next June.. I'll guess time will tell. She had a party at Gymnastics City in Claremore and I think it was a success. Me being me, I'm so not the planner or the organizer. I grew up with such an organizing, planning older sister, who took care of most things. Honestly, she still does. I also usually hang out with other planners. It works well for me and for them. haha.. I hope its an equal mutual relationship anyways! When it comes to things with Abbie I have to really focus and put myself in a whole new role. With this role I'm still learning and don't have the organization and planning down all that well. I'm working on it! Thankfully!!!!! My cousin Erin came to the party and she pretty much lead the thing. Here are a couple of pictures..
Yes.. for those of you wondering.. Abigial is still into the Ariel thing.. and yes she was the only one dressed liked that.. Abbie takes gymnastics there and she said she wanted to wear it. Me again being me, didn't think anything of it. I didn't think that she would be the only one.. but she was. I was going to change her when I realized it, however, a few of the moms said she is the birthday girl its okay. so.. I said okay.
Today, while I am typing this sitting in my daughter's room, I told her to get rid of stuff. As I look up from the computer I see more toys on her floor. She did what I asked and went through some stuff... instead it is everywhere. Does she want to get rid of it.. amazingly enough she said three things! We all have to start somewhere!
Oh.. another interesting story. As you guys knows I'm a single parent. With Abbie going to school and our situation not being a common occurence in our little town it has started to be a topic at home. Her big concern at the moment is telling her kids they don't have a grandpa becuase I never got married. I told her that her grandparents got married when I was 19. So.. she told me I needed to be married by the time she was 19. I told her I'd work on it.
Oh! and for those of you who can't leave comments. I don't know how to change that. I'll work on it.
