Great Aunt Alda’s 1st Birthday Party

You know when you want to play around the house so bad, but you’re just too tired? Then you wake up feeling all funny because you fell asleep mid crawl. Darian does this a lot. And when he wakes up, in the same motion, without changing a beat, he’s reaching for his toy and bouncing it up and down. I wish I was that effective when I woke up!

He really loves when we work on his United States puzzle. I get really into it though, and then he crawls across it when I only have a couple pieces left. 🙁

 
Darian’s great, great Aunt had her 1st birthday party today. She had never had a party for herself before. It was a huge surprise for her. We had a lot of fun! It was a really good time.

I wrote in my journal about September 11th today. It doesn’t feel like it’s been 10 years. I volunteer at the local high school, and on Friday, they made an announcement about 9/11. None of the students seemed to connect or care too much about it. It didn’t occur to me that most of them were in 1st grade to preschool when it happened. I can’t believe time moves that quickly. This stage of our life really is just a blink of an eye.
