It was hard to focus on just one thing today especially when we had a few different new things. We kicked off our new with a wonderful meeting at school to discuss Emily's GIEP. As I sat at the table of women bragging about my kid I felt very blessed and appreciative. I also felt very proud. But I've talked your ear off about that enough...you get the idea. I picked her up from school and told her we were having a Girls' Day to celebrate. She was quite excited. First we headed to the mall to shop at Justice. This was a new thing for us. We were given a gift card from dear Jenne so Emily spent quite a bit of time deciding. We are sure to head back for some more spring items very soon to spend the gift card from the Whites. She is hooked. After strolling around...just the two of us...with no rush or hurry (that's a new thing in itself) we headed to dinner. We found a cozy little booth to in which to share some goofy conversation and the biggest piece of mile high mud pie ever. The sweet waiter even added rainbow sprinkles...like he knew or something. Also a new event, btw. Then, we came home to walk. We threw on some comfy clothes and grabbed the pooch and headed out for our first spring walk of 2011. Sprouts of green poking through the soil and several bugs confirmed that spring was here. We snuggled and watched our Idol (nothing new there folks, c'mon....I raised this child on Idol). BUT, we did enter our first ever entries in our mother/daughter journal. I read about this idea somewhere and loved it and I think it will be a wonderful adventure for us both.
SO, all in all a full day of firsts. Did I feel guilty about an afternoon of spoiling the girls while at home the pooch was crated, Pop was eating alone and laundry and dishes were piled high??? Nope, hey...look at that... ANOTHER first!!!
