Two Days Until The big 0-1

Filed Under Bailey's Birthday, Friends, Playdates | 4 Comments

Today is Monday. Bailey will be one on Wednesday. In just a little over 48 hours. Wow. We are trying to make this week really special for all of us. Today we had a playdate with my friend Kim and her daughter Mackenzie, who is two months younger than Bailey. I think the girls had fun together. I know Kim and I did. We got to hang out and talk, have lunch together, and go for a walk around the lake by her house. The weather was nice and sunny and it was so good to be outside! Tonight we went out to dinner with Jen and Aaron, to El Maguey. Bailey was very well-behaved during dinner. Which is always a relief, especially when we are out with friends who don’t have kids!

Tomorrow I work at my church in the morning and hopefully I can get some stuff done around the house in the afternoon. Jonathon is planning to cut the grass. Then in the evening, we are going to take Bailey to Oberweis to have ice cream for the first time! (other than the times I smuggled her a small bite or two, don’t tell Jonathon!) We will have to bring the camera. I hope she likes it. We are still holding off on chocolate for at least a few more months, possibly another year. Normally I’m not super picky about what she eats except for obvious stuff like no honey, strawberries, or fish yet. But my mom is allergic to chocolate and I don’t want Bailey to develop an allergy to it!

Wednesday for her birthday, we are going to go get her one year pictures done. I know I am a little behind on that. Then Jonathon is meeting up with us and we are going to grab some food and take her to Gymboree. She hasn’t been there before to play so I hope she likes it! That is her little birthday surprise from us

Thursday and Friday my parents are going to help with Bailey so I can hopefully get things more ready for her big party on Saturday. We are doing a butterfly theme. I still haven’t decided what we are doing for food or anything, and I need to order the cake. I’ve got to remember to do that tomorrow. We have all the decorations and the party favors. It’s just a matter of putting things together and doing food. We can do this. Right? And we need to clean the house and set up things a little differently if it ends up being inside. And work on the garden decor in case it’s outside… that means finishing to repaint the wrought iron chairs we got, cutting the grass (Jonathon) and putting some partyish stuff outside. Pray for good weather!
