I totally did missed my chance to blog on Toni's first birthday! But I'm telling you... as she grows more, learns more, and walks more... I am finding less time to blog AND I'm tired all the time. I'm tired as I blog! But really I made myself stay up to watch game #6 between the Rockets and Lakers. And well... I am female and I can't just sit here and watch the game... I must multitask. So why not catch up on my blog!
So Toni's first birthday was this past Tuesday, May 12, 2009! She wore her birthday girl dress (as seen in the pictures) to school and even had a matching bib with it. We sang Happy Birthday to her the regular way and the Sprout way. Unless you watch sprout with your kids, you probably have no idea what I'm referring to and well... I can't sing it to you! So you'll have to use your imagination. She was sang to at school and they say she really enjoyed it. Even when we picked her up she was really happy. AND.. they have been allowing her to spend some time in the one year old room! They say she has been doing really well and that they plan to switch her rooms permanently, but are just transitioning her right now. Well today they said beginning tomorrow she is in the one year old room permanently! Well until she gets older anyway. So that is a huge thing! yay!!!
Ok so back to her birthday. We didn't do anything too big since we plan to celebrate later. We had dinner at the Olive Garden since she likes to eat the food there, and had some cake too. Rachelle and Brian came too. Not only did she eat well (breadsticks, lasagna, alfredo!) but she made a new friend too! There was another baby there that apparently just turned one the Friday before. Needless to say, they were both really excited to be in each others presence! It was really pretty sweet. We had a candle lit for Toni and sang her happy birthday. She didn't blow the candle out, though she does know how to blow! She just didn't, so Junior did it for her. We tried to get her to stick her hand in the cake but as soon as her hand touched it, she retracted like, "what is THAT!?" She did that twice. So no mess there. I have to say I was a little relieved she didn't get messy although I was ready for her to get messy; it is her birthday after all! She had a little bit of cake and OH MY GOODNESS... talk about a SUGAR HIGH! She was crazy! But I guess she served as entertainment for those around us AND she got the other little girl all riled up! hahaha... it was funny but cute! I would say she had a successful birthday AND she knocked out in the car!
Oh yeah! So her birthday gift? So... this past Saturday she lost an earring. I was pretty sad. It was anything expensive as we got it at Claire's but they were her first pair of earrings. Regardless, I wanted to get her new ones because I don't want her without earrings in her ears for too long. I know she's had them in long enough, but still. Just want to be on the safe side. So we went back to Claire's to get another pair. Except that her first pair was the piercing kind, so it's pointy and sharp in the back. I didn't want to get another pair like that because they sometimes poke her neck. So I wanted one just like it but not the piercing kind. I thought she had surgical steel, but it turns out the posts were 14k gold (white) and a CZ. Well I couldn't find another one like it and one small enough for her ears so it didn't look like huge rocks on her ears. And I'm sure they had one, but the sales girl wasn't very helpful. So oh well. Lost a sale. So I went to Macy's and what do you know? They are having a HUGE jewelry sale! Turns out they are changing jewelry vendors and so they are trying to get rid of the stock they have now. So I got 14k gold (yellow) earrings WITH diamonds (not sure of the carat but they are really small and perfect for Toni's ears) for $30. yup! It was 80% off! Wow... I don't even own diamond earrings! So Toni got diamond earrings for her first birthday!
