Birthdays all weekend!


> Judah is an extreme party animal. MrC took him to a 7th birthday party at one of those kids' gyms on Friday night and he had a ball! He was the smallest kid there, but that didn't stop him from running around trying everything. I forgot to get the videos and pictures from MrC's phone, so I'll try and post them tomorrow. At one point he fell face first off a trampoline and hit his head. Everybody jumped up expecting to have a screaming toddler except MrC. Judah yelled "I ok" and kept it moving. MrC checked for a bruise a few minutes later, and there was a mark, but clearly Judah was fine. We learned long ago not to ever react when Judah falls or else he'll milk it for all it's worth. MrC had a video of Judah riding the zip line (he had to be seated because he's so small) and my jaw fell open when I saw it. When my ma and sister watched it they had the exact same reaction. I thought he'd be to scared to do something like that. The only complaint I have is that MrC broke one of my top 10 parenting rules. NO MCDONALDS! The served nuggets and fries at the party and MrC let him eat some fries. He said he didn't seem that impressed and didn't even finish a small fry so I guess I can't be too mad.

> Alaia and I went to see my sister play a prostitute in a play of the modern version of the prodigal son. She did well, and the play was really good but the prodigal son was a terrrrrrrible actor. I don't know how he got the role, but my goodness he should not act anymore. The best person was a dude I grew up with that played the older brother and a bum. He was absolutely hilarious and I never knew he was that funny. He really carried the play and I'm so proud of him. His dad is the pastor of the church and it was his first time seeing his son act. I was sitting in the back next to him putting Alaia to sleep and I looked over and I could tell he was so proud of his son. It's always amazing to see your kids do things you never expected them to.

> On Sunday we went to lunch to celebrate our niece's 16th birthday. She's MrC's late brothers eldest child and we wanted her to feel special because her trifling mother didn't plan anything for her. Judah sang happy birthday to her and my sister is going to do her hair as our gift to her because she's had the same braids in since school started and they look awful.

> I hope y'all had a good weekend and have an even better week. My students are here now so I guess I need to get ready to do some teaching!

> Oh, MrC's birthday is this Friday. If y'all have any inexpensive gift ideas, let me know.
