Miss Sunshine doesn't really see to mind nights without her sister. She gets Mom all to her sister. Now she gets to watch what she wants without a fight and later she gets to have her Ita (maternal grandmother) and Pop-pop all to herself.
Miss Sunshine loves her big sister and she is one of her favorite people but, some times, she loves a mini-vacation away. If it is longer then she does start asking when is she coming home.
The girls went to a very fun birthday party today for one of their female cousin's today. It was a Princess themed party where they got dressed in Princess costumes and went through a story about a princess, had their faces painted, went on a scavenger hunt and had cake and juice. It wasn't over the top but very cute.
Although it was a bit on the young side for the Princess, she did go along with everything especially after I took away her book and make her look at what was going on around her. Miss Sunshine, however, she put on the dress and for an hour insisted she get her face painted (they mentioned it in the beginning and didn't do it till almost the end) but other than that, didn't do much else. She entertained my Aunt and Uncle and my new baby cousin, had cake, of course, but not quite the party for her. You win some, you lose some, but, I think she did have fun in her own way.
The Princess then left for the Poconos with her dad. Miss Sunshine doesn't go anywhere with out her Mommy.
The Princess is so excited today! She gets to take Tina into camp today and show her off. For those of you who forget, Tina is our Russian Tortoise.
We are already busy this morning making a travel home for her. A box, some hay, some food and of course some treats Dandelions.
I hope Tina makes it through the day ;-)
I got a call yesterday and found out all of Miss Sunshine's school testing is complete and her report is written.
They are recommending that she go to the other school with the Autism program. Yes, she will get a bus. Everyone keeps asking me that. I am not sure why but it seems like the first question that pops out. I will know more next week when I meet with the psychologist.
Took the Princess for the first time to hear the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky with live cannons at the end of the piece last night.
SHE LOVED IT!
It is, of course, one of my all time favorites as well
She loved the fireworks dispaly after as well
The Princess actually just reminded me I haven't knittedin a while and when was I going to finish we dolls "official" dress?
Wow when your kid notices you don't knit you are in trouble LOL
PS Miss Sunshine is actually been usually my needles as swords... that is how "rusty" my needles are... sigh....
The Princess is going to the Poconos with her father and grandmother for the long holiday weekend but, Miss Sunshine wants to stay home with Mommy. lately she does want to stray to far from me.
We did get invited to a few BBQs, and we plan to spend a day in our PJs.
The Princess does need a holiday away from her sister. she is a TERRIFIC big sister but when you are ask of so much you do deserve a break.
I won't go see firework with Miss Sunshine since she hates loud noises but, I hope the princess does. She loves them
As a kid, what did you look forward to most about summer vacation/break/holiday?
For the first 14 years of my life, I spent pretty much every summer at my Abuelos house in Cali Colombia South America. I couldn't wait to go!! It was such a different life style there and such a different climate as well. I would get to see my Mother's side of the family, the ENTIRE side, all of my Aunts, uncles, cousins, distant cousins, friends, etc. Practice my Spanish, go to my favorite places and eat my favorite foods. Certain scents and pictures can quickly bring back a memory for me.
I haven't been back there in over 10 years, but just writing this out brings back happy memories of happy times.
