My firstborn turned 8 yesterday. Eight. So big, so grown up. So little, still learning so much.
I took the girls roller skating once, on my birthday, with some friends. Caitlyn has been asking for roller blades ever since*.
After she opened them, we headed to the roller rink.
Each of the girls got better and better. I, did not. It was awful. Really, really awful. I ended up in tears. I finally just took the skates off and participated from the sidelines. Thankfully, daddy knows how to skate and was able to guide them through learning.
Then it was time for cake. Ice Cream cake. That is a girl after my own heart!!! She’s such a good girl. She was appreciative and excited about ever single gift. I love seeing her as an 8 year old. It is fun, she can help with things, but she still slips her hand in mine as we’re going about life.
I like 8.
She had fun, I had ice cream cake. It is allll good.
*Very proud to say I got these skates for $21 less than Amazon!!!!
Can’t get enough of birthdays? Never fear, we have another one coming up Thursday!
Survive til you Thrive!
