Today is two days before Wes' birthday. To prepare, I have been baking. He requested some peanut butter cookies, so as any good wife would, I delivered! We will be celebrating a day early with his mom, then on the actual day we will embark on our first adventure as a family of four! Camping with a newborn. Anyone have any advise for me? Am I crazy?
I think the kids are giving Wes early birthday gifts without even realizing it--Donny has become very aware of Wes' presence and makes it very clear when he would like some attention. This thrills his father to his very core! Was I so shell-shocked, sleep deprived to have missed this with Olivia? Or is my memory selective? Olivia was a big challenge today. Soccer game. She got upset on the field, for whatever reason (the girl drama is an entire blog, I'm afraid!) and decided to really act out! She stomped on the foot of a little boy who had nothing to do with her being upset. Wes had to pull her out of the game--yes, literally pulled her by the arm to remove her. Had to have the 'unsportsman-like conduct' speech, and boy I hope she listened. She went from just being tearful when the game wasn't going her way to being a bruiser. Pretty sure I don't like either option.
I am very excited to spoil Wes for his birthday this year. I feel like he doesn't get pampered the way he should sometimes, especially now that there is a very demanding 3 month old in the mix. We are taking Daddy to the Grand Junction Motor speedway to drive carts on the track. I hope he has a blast!
We are so fortunate in this life. I can't wait for our big adventure this week!!
