The Fun Never Stops

Even though her birthday has passed, the gifts seem to keep coming, which of course thrills A to pieces. I ordered her a wheeled bag but waited a bit too long and it didn’t arrive until after her birthday. Bad planning. Nonetheless, I’ve found it works out well when they don’t open all their presents on one day, kind of like the Hanukah effect. Spreading them out over several days works out much better, and I think the kids don’t go through that devastating crash that always seems to follow a gift opening frenzy. Plus, they don’t tear through each gift and toss it aside, like we see during Christmas.

With this in mind, the fun seems to keep on happening. It was a nice stretch of fun over her birthday, and in a certain ways, we as parents got lucky. Part of that luck stems from having a great circle of friends.

In addition to the celebrations and presents, a couple of days after the fact, she finally got her bag, which was exciting. She also received her sais for karate, as well as a got a gift from her cousin in California, which was a pleasant surprise. The fun just never stops, but we all knew that, right?

Until the next time, thanks for reading.
