BirthdaysMy daughter turned five yesterday! So, I suppose that I will be referring to her as my five year old daughter now... Hubby brought a bunch of helium balloons home for her, and ever thinking about the feelings of the two year old, he brought a bright yellow one home for her as well. This balloon and what happened to it is a subject for another post, but for now I want to tell you all about the actual birthday...
We decided to give her a friend birthday party this year because both of her sets of Grandparents were unavailable for a family party. We were talking to her on Sunday about what friends she would like to invite and we explained that we were going to hold the party on the following Saturday. This was not a good idea according to her, parties are to be held on the birthday in question, end of story. Nothing else would be acceptable. We rushed to get the invitations out that day, and the poor parents only had two days of notice instead of six.
Apparently five year old kids have nothing better to do than come to a party, so we had every child show up. I had thought that with the late notice, we would have perhaps half come so I allowed my daughter to invite more kids than I would normally have. My fault I suppose, but we had a house full last night. I think that the pinata was the favorite of all the kids.
After most of the children had been picked up by their parents, the five year old decided to jump on the trampoline. Whether it was all the excitement, candy, soda, cake, or the flu... the five year old threw up all over as she jumped. My husband quickly grabbed her and ran into the bathroom as I headed for the hose to clean up the mess. The poor girl threw up all night long!
This morning, she told me that she didn't want to eat any candy today because she didn't want to feel sick. I am just glad that she is keeping some dry toast down. Perhaps later she will have some soup... Happy birthday little one!
