My Best Girl
By Holly | September 24, 2007
Every year on The Girl’s birthday I get a sense of wonderment. How did she get so big? When did she get so big? Where did the time go? She started so tiny. At 6 lbs. 14 oz. she was a peanut. 10 years later she is in the small adult range.
See that? See how tall? I am 5′7″ and she is up to my shoulder. Girlie is wearing a size 8.5 shoe and doesn’t understand why she can’t wear stilettos. They do, after all, come in her size. No question she is mine.
We started her birthday celebrations with bowling on Saturday with a couple of her friends.
I wore my completed Firebirds.
That was followed by pizza and huge laughs. Yesterday we surprised her with brunch at the Sundial. She’s talked about wanting to check it out ever since she discovered the restaurant rotates, giving you enormous views. She was completely thrilled to be there. Then it was back to the house for cake and ice cream.
Today Mr. and I went to have lunch with her at the school and took cupcakes for the entire 4th grade. She was thrilled to see us as was everybody else. Nobody can pass up a cupcake with butter cream frosting. Tonight we are off to Scalini’s for yet more food. Are y’all seeing the trend here? The food thing? Good god but my ass is going to be three times bigger by tomorrow morning. Pizza, French toast and pasta. Barley and vegetables for the rest of the week!
My Girl is 10 years old today. I am so proud of her. She’s not only smart and funny, she also has the most awesome sense of “fair”. Everyday I am more blessed than the day before simply for knowing her.
