Paper and plastic.

And so it starts. Yes, I am talking about birthday party season. It seems from now until about September Kaia has birthday party after birthday party after birthday party to go to. Not that it is a bad thing - Kaia certainly gets alot of enjoyment out of them. And today was no exception. We went to Kingswood, the gym and entertainment centre just down the road from where we live, for a gymnastics birthday party. Kaia had a great time, and it's tempted me to enroll her in a class. She was not shy at all (so proud!) and was trying hard to be first in line every time for each activity. She was really quite amazing. Sometimes I need to take a step back and remind myself that she' s not even 3 years old yet. Unfortunately though, I also realized that she is lacking the discipline to sit and listen to rules...will have to try and get that in check. I wish I had taken my camera. Kaia was doing somersaults down a mat, hanging and swinging herself from rings, walking and even kicking her feet high on the balance beam, crawling through tunnels, and lots more. Then they ate pizza and birthday cake and opened presents. I made a little fabric journal cover that held a sketchbook and some art pencils and thought it was pretty cute but I think the little one (she turned 4) was more fascinated with the LOADS of paper and plastic that came with the other gifts. Oh well, I'm sure my gift will have more staying power at the end of the day.
