Halloween was sad for me the past four years. Now the sadness is gone, and I feel giddy. I decided not to do anything for it this year, Anise is too young, but I have never seen so much pre-halloween hype.
Anise is out with babysitter. I had tons of stuff to get done, now I can't remember what I had to do...
On the sleep front things got better and then worse, it is push and pull. But she is full of smiles and laughter, so I have to take it as it comes - try a little but stay relaxed. Easier said then done. The house is quiet.
Anise's birthday is coming up. I am excited and sad. One year. I have never had a year go by so fast, and it terrifies me because I know the years to come will be faster. I want to have a big celebration, to celebrate life, this life that came to us. How thankful I am that she chose us. This afternoon I found the perfect place to celebrate, yay!
Now: how do I not eat all the candy?

Oh that first birthday is so bittersweet. So much joy and wonder and memory. How can it go by so fast while the days and sleepless nights can seem so long? :)

Candy: throw it out (she says with a pounding sugar hangover.)
ReplyDeleteNice to read you, too!
ReplyDeleteWe started blogging the same day. :)
And, you remind me (sleep, no sleep, smiles, laughter, and magic touch) what I have to look forward to again next year.
Thank you.
