8/29/21 – A Bougie Birthday Bash

I went to pick you up from Grandma Noot’s house. When I got there, you cracked the door open and scolded me for coming too early because you were just about to show her the movie Luca, which she hasn’t seen. You had a hundred stuffies all over her house. We had to get moving because we had to go home, change and head to the Ritz Beach Club for Gracyn Landsman’s 6th birthday party.

When we walked in you saw so many of your Discovery Days friends and immediately ran and hugged everyone. The party was extravagant. You had a complete make over, hair, makeup and manicure and Graycn’s mom had robes, slippers and hairbrushes with your name embroidered on them. You felt so special. You guys put make up on me, played hide & seek and made butterfly light jars. What a wonderful way to celebrate! After the party, you asked to walk down to the beach so we did. There is still some red tide, so we didn’t swim. You collected a TON of shells and filled your gift bag from the party with them.

We headed home because we were planning to swim at the Meadows pool. When we walked in the door you couldn’t wait to show Daddy your new shells. You told him “you’re never going to believe how amazing this is!” and showed him everything you found. You took Daddy to the playroom to play playdough and to paint. You were enjoying your home day so much that you didn’t even want to to go the Meadows. We had dinner, showered together (so I could get allll that makeup off your face and mine) and you were excited to wear your robe. You and Daddy made pictures of our family with dot markers & you were so proud. A big storm rolled in so you followed him out to the front porch to watch for a few minutes before we headed to bed to read books. You were yawning but didn’t want to go to sleep…it took a little longer than I thought it would, but you were still out by 9p.

I love you so much!
