The Very Merry Unbirthday
This month has been a bit rough for Evie. Since the end of January she has seen at least three people have birthday's that were NOT her, her teacher at school abruptly disappeared (it was not her fault but to a five year old it was a lot to handle), she started occupational therapy, and we've been deep cleaning the house which has left it pretty cluttered and that has been frustrating for BOTH of us. When I was younger I always loved celebrating my own and my friends half birthdays. It just feels like one day out of the year to make someone feel special and celebrate that we are all happy they are here is not enough. I always intended to celebrate Evie's half birthday too but unfortunately it falls just before Christmas which makes it not the most ideal time. So the other day when I was cleaning a closet and found a forgotten Christmas gift I had an idea...why not celebrate an UN-birthday! There is a little $7 cake at Kroger she begs me for each time we go near the bakery...
