My mom brought over Eden’s birthday present yesterday. My step-dad was sick with the flu and my mom didn’t want to risk getting anyone else sick at the party just in case she got it too.

So hear Eden is in all her princess glory.

The necklace she’s holding is a princess necklace that makes twinkling sounds and talks, even though we expressly wrote on all birthday invitations, “Please no electronic toys.” It’s already driving me crazy.

She’s also been playing with her Cabbage patch a lot. She told me today, “Mommy you need to make my baby a princess dress with your mitting.” (mitting = knitting) Perfectly reasonable request, of course her baby needs a princess dress to match hers.

My mom also got Honor a bat. When I told Jim this, he said, “Does your mom hate us?” We’re on day two of bat ownership and all the windows are intact, keep your fingers crossed.

Have a good weekend, mine will involve a trip to Old Navy so Eden can pick out a swimming suit.
