Day 10: Birthday Surprises

My firstborn is turning 8 in a week.

Wow. Unreal.

Right now, I am enjoying shopping for her gifts. It's fun to choose things I know she is going to love. Some big things and some little things.

That's my happy place right now. I'm thankful for the diversion.

I couldn't help but smile when this arrived on our doorstep.

Not because I know E is going to love her. Not because the surprise alone will be huge since she thinks there is no way we are getting her this.

But, because I secretly love to play with dolls.

Except now it isn't a secret, is it?

I get her out of the box every night 'to play', then stick her back under my bed before E sees me.


Can't wait til we can all play together. I just wish I could have a matching dress as well. I'm going to feel left out when E is dressing like her doll :(

I love to play too!!

So glad you made your background white. It is so much easier to read.

Hope your spirits are lifted a little.

And I'm sure she'll share her baby to let you keep playing with her!!!
