Ms. Candy and her friends...
Katie enjoyed it as much as she could. Yogi was able to get her to nap for about thirty minutes before the party. She started the party fine roaming around the clubhouse and enjoying the attention from family. Then, as the guests started to arrive in waves, she got a little overwhelmed and wanted Mommy and while Mommy was busy, she was ok with Daddy or Grandpa.
We’ve been training her to blow her own birthday candle but as expected she freaked out with all eyes on her and got a little help from Daddy. She didn’t get her own cake but she did attempt to eat her own slice. She started devouring a piece of chocolate from the top of the cake which proved to be a very challenging mess and that was the end of it. We cleaned her off and suited her up for a dip in the pool. After 3-4hrs, Katie was ready for her nap so a dip was exactly all she wanted.
It was a busy day for us but we enjoyed every minute of it. There were quite a few people Katie met for the very first time! Hope we can reconnect with you soon and do some serious catching up. Thank you all for being patient with us and Katie. We’re sorry if we didn’t entertain you much but we know you were there and hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as you could!! Special thanks to our family and friends for helping out with the party.
This was truly a special party. A year ago, we were stressed with the biggest challenge thus far in our lives, learning how to be parents with no right answers. We’re happy to have arrived to our 1 year point and be somewhat confident that we’re doing a passing job thus far. Katie is happy, healthy, and improving in her skills every day. There were moments in the past year that may have appeared longer than others but realistically we all live by the same clock and speed. Once the sun sets, that day is over so best to make the most out of the good ones and for the bad ones, at least that bad day is over. Year 2, here we come!!
