Classic Lydia

Lydia is classic for getting sick when it's the time most you want them to be healthy. Christmas she breaks her collar bone, family trip to Disneyland she pukes for 3 days straight, lands us in a California hospital me fighting them on putting an IV in her. Two years ago on her birthday got to close to the candles to blow them out and burned her eyelash off. So it shouldn't have come as a shock to me yesterday, on her birthday she comes down with the flu. She wasn't puking so we went a head and had her party, mostly because I couldn't bare to tell her it was canceled. She tried really hard to act like everything was fine but I could tell she wasn't herself. She didn't eat her birthday cake or dinner which was probably a good idea. Me being pregnant and very emotional, I cried a lot for her yesterday. I felt bad that she was so excited and was counting down the days until her birthday for a week. She is at that age where she has caught on to the excitement of holidays and birthdays. She gets sick on her birthday and I'm sure it wasn't what she had anticipated. Here are a few pictures. On a more positive note, thank you to everyone who came to the party and we missed those who were not able to be there. She is playing this morning with all her presents and seems to be doing lots better. I also slept really well last night and so did Lydia. We got some much needed sleep. I can't believe my little baby is 4, where has the time gone. I love you my pretty little Lydie.
