Tonight we took the kids to gymnastics. The employees at this particular gymnastics enterprise offer an evening of Parents Night Out once a month for a nominal fee. The gymnastics teachers keep the children busy with various activities while the parents enjoy a few hours of child-free conversation.
Ken and I chose to spend our child-free few hours going to dinner with some friends. At the end of the night, we picked up Valerie and Dagny and thanked the babysitters. As we bid them good-bye, I mentioned that we would return tomorrow for a birthday party.
We closed the establishment's door and headed to our car. With excitement in her voice and eyes shining like stars, Valerie exclaimed, "Tomorrow is my birthday? Then, I'm turning FIVE!" She really believed she was turning five tomorrow.
It was tough to squelch her excitement, but I reminded her that no, her friend Alexa's birthday party was tomorrow.
Only 357 more days until Valerie turns five! It will be here before you know it!
