Oh, how could I let my Halloween baby's birthday slip by without a birthday post? I think she had a great day. Grandma M was in town, which is always a treat. She helped Natalie start up knitting again. She (we) may need a few more lessons at Christmas as well.
The party was fairly small this year, and that was nice. Just a few Kindergarten friends at a paint-your-own pottery place. That satisfied my little artist's desire for an art project, and the girls got to sit at a table by themselves and chat. I love the way she is making good friends at school, and is not letting shyness steal her voice. She is blossoming in Kindergarten. Another mother told me recently, "Ella says that Natalie tells the best jokes!"
She chose a cookie cake this year. It makes perfect sense, because Natalie does not like cake. She will eat icing only from a cake. Why didn't we think of a cookie cake before?
Of course, there was also piles of candy and trick-or-treating on the actual birthday. Beautiful bat girl. I always love the spark, humor, laughter, and beauty that my Halloween girl brings to the family. The year of being six is already off to a great start.
