The past few days have been so busy I haven't had the time to write. Friday, my youngest reached a milestone, she turned 5. I've been caught up in all the wonderment that comes with celebrating a child's birthday. We had a party, we've had dinners, we spoiled the child. I'm ok admitting that. As a parent I want to give my child everything. We didn't so much cater to her material wants so much as made sure we spent time doing things with and for her and reminding her how special she is. I remember my mom doing the same for me, and it's a tradition I try to carry out with my kids. As an adult, I hate anything relating to my birthday, but for a child it's a nice reminder of how special and unique they are. I only have so many birthdays with my kids and I want to let them know how special they are to me each time.
