She had a great time at her party yesterday. She played in the water, ate a bunch of cake, and got some new toys and clothes. She also got to see lots of family and friends she hasn't seen in a while.
We celebrated at the Belmont Spray deck which is a cool little water park for kids under 6. Dan and I showed up early and claimed two picnic tables near the spray area and set up the grill and all the party supplies. Soon after Cailin arrived with Val and Roberta and guests started showingup. I was really lucky to be able to see my friend Dana who came up from NYC for the event. I also got to see Aimee who is moving down south next week. My circle of girlfriends has slowly dispersed since grad school and it was nice to see them. Hopefully the four of us will reunite in October for Betsy's wedding!
Cailin started out the festivities by playing in the water, which was a big accomplishment for her. She had been scared of it for a little while. Don't get me wrong, she loves taking a bath every night but hates the iddie pool and the water park, but luckily not anymore. She loved the water and had a lot of fun splashing around.
After some water time she got passed around from person to person and then ate lunch. She ate tons of fruit (shocker) and even tried some sausage and pasta salad and ate some of each. Then came more playing.
Cailin had a mini birthday party at daycare and she was scared when they sang to her during cake time, she handled it a lot better this time! Dan held her while we all sang. I blew the candle out for her and gave her a big piece of cake. She devoured it! It was a complete mess!
Cailin got tons of great gifts! Dana got her some pajamas, which were super ute and much needed! Aimee got her a red sox outfit and a blanket she knitted herself, Cailin loves blankies! Rhonda and Val both got her a bunch of clothes. My dad got her a really nice Bitty Baby doll from American Girl and she is totally in love with it. We took it out of the box and she hugged it and kept playing with it! (Thank God she didnt just toss it! It makes me think she might be really nice to her little bro when he arrives!). Cailin's friend Leo from daycare came and he had a blast playing in the water. She has tons of boyfriends already!
All in all the day was a huge success and we had one tired girl at the end of it all!
