4 years ago today I was in labor on labor day. This labor day weekend is going to be a lot less painful. (I hope). Last year Kaydence refered to Soren's birthday as the "not so fun birthday" and continued to tell everyone that, as much as she could, for the entire year. Even after having a great birthday party for her at chuck E. cheese she still wouldn't let Soren's intimate family gathering as I refer to it, lay to rest.
Meridian Idaho has a great big park here for kids. It's completely free and has a great water section with tons of jungle gyms and foam climbing rocks and a musical section...even a snack bar!!! It's all covered by this really soft squishy foam floor in case the kids fall. It's just a great park. They even have a pond that the kids can go fishing, and really nice horse shoes pits. So we decided to have Soren's birthday party as Settlers Park.
Every time we've gone to this park it's just packed with kids and is really hard to keep track of them, but for some reason this saturday wasn't nearly as bad. I was very reluctant to invite families because I was concerned everyone was taking off for the weekend and didn't want to burden people and have no on show up. Not to mention Soren doesn't really know anyone or have any "friends". I asked him who to invite and he gave me nothing :) He just calls everyone "hey friend". I asked if it was fine if we just had mommy and daddy and grandma and aunt lindsey and uncle derek and cousin Rylie there... He was pretty adamant about having other "friends" there...
I said I can't mail invitations to your friends if we don't know their names...
***funny little story**** We went to Burger King for lunch one day while we waited to pick kaydence up at school and I let him play in the play section. Another little girl and her brother where playing and Soren became good friends with her as they played really well together for the 30 minutes they had encountered each other. Soren saw this as a great opportunity to find me a "name" as he followed her around asking her what her name was. Once he found out it was Carmen he immediately invited her to his party. He is so cute!!!!
