Happy 10th birthday, my little mushroom! I am now officially a mom to a tween. This is the part wherein I need to start staying in the sideline, and watch her evolves. Many changes are expected to happen – her body, her style and her mind. Am I scared? I am. I wish, I can wrap her around my little fingers all her life, but obviously, it is not going to happen. As early last year, she started voicing her opinion on whatever I tell her to do, especially on clothing. Don’t get me wrong. She is a very good and obedient child. I even wonder on why I have such a child, because I am totally the opposite.
I admit when it comes to throwing a party, I am not an organizer. Since living here in the US, I have not thrown one for her (or anybody in the household). It’s just – I am too scared to disappoint people. This is something that I need to work on. Hopefully, next year is the start.
Here’s how our day went –
Today’s just like any other busy day. The knight and I went to work. My little mushroom went to school. I planned of bringing cupcakes to her tae kwon do class, but I forgot. When at work, I tend to forget everything outside my workplace. My bad. So I took the quickest and easiest way – I ordered pizza and drinks on the phone and had it delivered to the tae kwon do school. From what I heard, all twenty-five kids (and the instructors) were happy to have pizza late afternoon. It hit a spot. As for the family, I cooked a special dinner partnered with red wine and a sparkling cider for my little mushroom. We finished the meal with a German chocolate cake. Our celebration is very simple, but the important thing – my little mushroom is happy. Also, she got a gift (something for entertainment) that she hoped for too.
As for my little mushroom’s elementary class, the celebration will be on the 17th of this month. Her class has a monthly birthday bash celebration. For this month, there are only 2 of them celebrating. I need to be ready this time. Wish me luck!
