I'll have all the ice cream and tea,
And I'll laugh with myself,
And I'll dance with myself,
And I'll sing 'Happy Birthday to me!'
-Shel Silverstein, Everything on It
These are all of our ages in the house as of February 2013. There was soy ice cream, much laughing, dancing, and singing. All. Month. Long. Is she really 3? Are we really in our late 20's? Hard to grasp how fast time passes by, especially with little ones. As we were dropping the kids off at a babysitter's to go out for my birthday dinner, I had a reality check when I realized I wasn't the one watching the kids for the night. I wasn't just the babysitter. I was a mom to two. TWO! And oh was it refreshing to eat at a restaurant without them...reminiscing about our past adventures, dating, and trying to NOT talk about the kiddos. I always feel like I'm missing a limb when I go places without them, but it's nice to have a chance to catch my breath.
We had a fun party for Maya at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale and she was lucky enough to have her Wawa and Papa Izatt, Aunt Hil, Uncle Dan and cousin Teddy all here. Under one roof. One two-bedroom condo roof. Maya slept in our closet. It was chaos, but it was fun. Especially letting these cousins meet for the first time. It was evident that Maya and Teddy share the "crazy" gene.
Good night from the closet...
