The Big FIVE
Micci is five today. I've been a Mommy for five years--it's very unreal. Scroll around that month for the wonderousness that is the first month of motherhood.
I got up super early (yes Mother, 8 am is SUPER DUPER early for me now--always has been--nothing you can do will ever change that) in the chilly morning (okay here in South Texas 40 degrees is very very cold)--never mind it was a Saturday. All for the love of my son...for his birthday and it's accompanying party just so we'd be all prepared. I had horrid flashbacks to when I worked a nine to five (or in my case 8 to 4.30) job and had to get up in the dark and shower when it was cold. I HATE showering in the cold. My sacrifice was worth it though--we got there early, actually too early, and everyone else was running a teensy bit late.
We had a really fun party at Mr. Gatti's (pizza buffet-with baked taters, yum!-and token games)--it was Micci's first little kid party. Everyone had loads of fun. Mic exchanged his tickets for a bunch of teeny animals and dinosaurs...of course. I even got to knit on my socks--so that was awesome.
I spent a half an hour perusing my blog from when Mic was first born. I miss that wee baby--but Mic the big kid of five is awesomely neat and I wouldn't want him any other way. But my blog DID NOT capture the first frantic months of his babyhood--except in long breaks between blog posts.
Micci this year has grown A LOT--length wise and emotionally. We're able to talk about things in new ways and I get to see more of his quirky, fun personality and his crazy sense of humour. It's also been hard because now that he's growing up, he's pushing my buttons and I find my self wish I was anywhere but here. Between the mean mommy comments and his know it all attitude, it's been very trying...but well someday I'll look back and laugh...far far into the future.
Oh,Mic did love how his cake turned out. I can't find my camera, again, so we used some disposables--once those get printed I'll post then here. The cake turned out just like my sketch. I was proud of my first attempt at decorating a cake.
