OK. Technically her birthday isn't until Friday, but because of a scheduling conflict, my mom threw the party she was going to give her a week early. She only got two birthday cards from my family but a crapload of toys. There were only four that weren't noisemakers. stare Anything that doesn't require batteries has been in the tub with her for the past three days, which is a lifesaver to me because now she doesn't climb me or the tub and she's distracted enough to actually sit in there and play for a few minutes longer than normal. I used up the rest of Mima's Halloween camera, but forgot it there. stressed I got a picture of Sue and her toy boys: the fact that they were even there speak volumes because they hardly ever attend family gatherings, and usually it's just Chaz with her. Ryan, her other son, was as antisocial as possible because him and Shadow played Guitar Hero for the majority of the party, until it was present time and Mom made them turn it off to watch her open her gifts, which was really her watching Mommy open her gifts while she threw a fit because she didn't finish her nap before the party like Mommy wanted. rolleyes She didn't really dig into her smash cake as well as we expected, but that's probably because everyone was grouped around her and she didn't really understand what was going on. We think she might be allergic to the frosting they used because after my mom bathed her {{That's right. Mommy wasn't gonna clean her up this time xD}} she had a few blotches on her cheek. It wasn't too serious and it went away before bed time that night. Ronnie's cousin Katrina brought her 9 month old in after the presents and the two were fascinated by each other. I held the smaller one and everyone commented and made jokes on how "Sophi wasn't gonna have that" and climbed me xD I was able to stand holding both of them and I couldn't get Sophia to sit on the floor until after she was sure Kylie was out of my arms whee My father made it one of the usual family parties....drama. Ugh. Actually it was more of Kim and Ron's fault than anything else. Kim invited her boyfriend over and they were talking in the front yard. No biggy, right? Well, it irked my dad because he still wants to be with Kim and can't stand the fact that she's happy without him. Ron invited Richard in for something to eat, and when he came inside and said what he'd done, my dad flipped out and ran outside screaming at the top of his lungs about how he'd told him to stay away from his family and he'd kill him and blah blah blah stare Brit was holding Sophia at the time and ran after him and accidentally kicked poor Kylie in the head. I took Sophia away from Brittany because I wasn't going to let her drag my daughter out there into that s**t and I helped make sure Kylie was OK. Shadow paused the game and watched out the window, hoping for a fight. rolleyes Everyone else in the room just kinda went quiet and watched my father make a complete a** out of himself on his only grand daughter's "birthday" Had it been her actual birthday, I would have been a little more pissed than I was. Other than that, Sophia was happy and finally went down for that nap she'd been needing in the car on the way home with a bottle of Kool-aid, sticking out of her mouth and her head slumped over in her toddler seat 4laugh
