Party Girl

Today you attended your first birthday party – a party in honor of Eleanor’s first birthday. There were lots of older kids and two younger babies, and you seemed entranced by all the action. A music instructor came and sang songs while letting the kids bang on a drum, blow into duck whistles, and shake balls off a parachute. I was worried all the commotion would be too much for you, but you seemed really happy just observing everything. In fact, towards the end of the singing you fell asleep! I told your daddy we need to get that music teacher’s phone number so that we can go to her if we ever can’t get you to fall asleep.
