My little lady is 9 years old today. Unfortunately, I have to work tonight, so we're taking her out for birthday shopping tomorrow.
She loves taking rides to go places, even if she ends up staying in the car. She can name most Pokemon, likes playing Mario Bros. games and jumping on the trampoline. The occasional sass is still in effect, but mostly with looks and not words (thankfully). She's sweet and funny and enjoys being a big sister. Elias just loves her to pieces. She started carrying a small handbag and has shown an interest in origami and spirographs. Her chores are washing dishes and tidying the den and she wants to learn to cook. Her personality is more outgoing these days and she's quick to make a friend. I'm so proud of the little person she's becoming.
Last night, Mom took us out to eat at Ichiban because little lady, like her mama, loves sushi. And oh, was it divine. I got my sushi fix, though it's never enough, and I let the big kids fill up on desserts. Mom dropped off an ice cream cake after the kids were in bed, so we're set for birthday fun.
It's bittersweet because last year, we celebrated Leah's birthday at Ichiban and Emily was with us. Dad was also not as bad off health-wise as he is now.
