She did not get blogged about, due to the sturm und drang over Ayla's first day of school.
(Side note: the German term 'sturm und drang' was the inspiration for the name of the school Durmstrang in the Harry Potter novels)
Noah made some really good food and if you want to see a lovely picture of it, head over to my sister's blog.
It was fun to have Indy's birthday because the beast is a charmer and she gave us a multitude of happy exclamations to soothe our tired ears. Wow, cool, awesome, great, and thank you all poured like sweet honey from her lips. And unlike Ayla, Indy was not apt to open a present, throw it down, and start crying because you bought her a purple sparkly live unicorn with rainbow hair instead of the pink one that she asked for.
Happy Birthday, Indy. Thanks for being my daughter. I couldn't survive motherhood without you (and your sister too).
(A note on Indy's outfit: Yes, I would have loved for my Indy to look a bit more gussied up and prettified for her 3-day pictures. But my little fashionista changes her clothes about every 33 minutes. (JUMP!) If you don't let her choose her own clothes, she cries. It's not worth the battle. Plus, what kind of mother makes her lively little lovely cry on her own birthday?)
POST-EDIT: That is not a third nipple on Ayla's chest. She fell on the raw metal edge of her scooter handle bar. Domo Arigato, Hello Kitty.
Lol, the smelling of the black hair. I remember that.
ReplyDeleteIndy's birthday was GREAT! I loved it. She's such a beauty. That Indy WILL break hearts.
