The ease of parties when they are young compared to....
Ok, just finished my sweet little 3 year olds Dora pool party birthday...seemed like a breeze, you might be confused, party? breeze? screaming preschoolers????? No, I'm not crazy, just reflecting on how much HARDER it gets as the kids get older, first they get old enough to know it's all about presents and get choosy with pricey themes and "cool" locations and such. Then they get even older and more aware of themselves and it becomes somewhat "awkward" to have a party, they want one but don't, afraid that someone at school might found out they still play with toys..GASP! what a tragedy! Or the dilema...do I invite boys? AHHH! Yeah, 3 year old seemed like a breeze compared to the last couple of years with my now 15 year old, this year for the first time, she opted for no party, so I we had our family that lives in town come to make her day special. Next summer "Sweet 16"...oh boy, what to do???????

I'm fascinated by your story. I'm 41 with 3 kids and was a SAHM for 12 years. My mom had my brother when she was 40 and he is my only sibling (we are 13 years apart!)
ReplyDeleteI know what you're saying about weight gain and our age, it doesn't mix well.
Congrats on your pregnancy, that was such a special time for me! Take care! :)
