The official birthday post. 33..Eeeh.Whoa. It's not so bad. I am still in the early of the 30's. But just saying that sentence: "early 30's" Eeeh. But hey- It was actually a really good birthday. I felt a lot of love from friends and my boys. My ward girlfriends and I got together for a lunch celebration, and after a lot of deliberation I have decided they really must like me instead of thinking as I have for so long there must be a catch or I am being invited to things out of pity. I really enjoy their company. I had some ElSancho tacos with Sam and he picked up an ice cream cake which the boys were very excited about my birthday then and there. Then much to my surprise I was then kidnapped - adult napped in my (drums please) infamous mickey mouse sweatpants by some good friends who took me to ice cream at the DQ. It was very surprising and very sweet of them. (Sam asked before I left if I was going to change. I didn't change)
What am I thinking at this new age? As always, I am thinking how I can improve. But, I am also happy. I love my boys, but I really like them too. I am starting to be a part of Jonah's day which makes things feel so much more doable. I will explain. I loved the way my sister Caitlin phrased this on first having a new baby home: they are such a big part of your day, but you are not really a part of theirs. It's true. When you bring home a little everything is revolving around them for a time and they literally do not even notice you are there. Then, suddenly, they do. And it's nice.
Kaj and I clashed last year a bit now looking back on kindergarten, but this year he is just so much more pleasant to be around. Josh, is, as usual, such a sweet kid. He is sweet to everyone. He wants to make everyone happy. He loves learning and is enjoying Miss Mindy's. He also is so fun and funny and has the best laugh. Rowan is probably the kid who is giving us a run right now as he is slightly stepping into the terrible 3's. But most moments with him are still great. He sings, he loves Elmo, and books. He still really likes bandaids. If he trips and falls he will get up and proceed to ask for a bandaid to be placed on his finger. He is such a crack up.
I will admit that yesterday did have a couple moments where I really wondered how 33 was going to go. I burned myself with a curling iron and it looked very hickey- like. So, just keepin it classy. Nothing like a grown woman with a hickey. I also tripped on a toy and for a portion of the morning thought it could be broken. Yikes.
Who really knows what this year is going to bring but it should be fun. I am surrounded by little boys and if anything can keep my young -it's them.
