I remember as a kid getting SO excited for my birthday.
From September 1st on (half birthday) I was almost the next year old, and I started party planning in December.
As an adult, birthdays were a great excuse to go out to dinner with a bunch of friends and stay up way too late hanging out.
As a mom….things were MUCH different this year.
LJ decided to get up for the day at this lovely hour of the day. This isn’t horrendous…but he went to bed at 9:30pm and he usually doesn’t wake up until about 8. “Melmo” wasn’t waiting till later.
Nap, what nap? Oh no, LJ didn’t need a nap, just ask him!
The bum still needed to be changed.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
