After his haircut on Saturday, Ricky attended a birthday party for his friend, Natalie, who turned 4. Her mommy was the Maid of Honor at my wedding and her daughter was the first infant that I ever held. Talk about scary! Some of the girls from work went to visit her while she labored at the hospital and then I came back after work to see the baby and was forced to hold her. I just knew I would break her! But, 4 years later she is still alive and well. =)
Ricky really loved the ball pit once he figured out how to get into it. Black mesh can be deceptive, you know. He was trying to throw the balls back into the pit, but I guess he didn't realize that the mesh would stop them from going in, because they kept bouncing back at him and he just kept trying again.
They also had a jumpy thingy, which I had wanted to Ricky's next birthday party. Once the other kiddos were out of it, I let him go at it. He loved it. I will def get one for his birthday party. He would even throw himself down on purpose and just lay there and giggle.
He did really good being around so many people that he didn't know. I was worried, but he showed no anxiety whatsoever, even though he is used to only spending time with us and his grandparents.
We also picked up Natalie's old toddler bed while we were there. Talk about depressing- a haircut and a toddler bed on the same day! Where is my little baby?!?!
I am overwhelmed every day by how awesome it is to be a mom. Yes, it can be exhausting and less than perfect, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Look at this face... how could I??
