Today, six years ago, I gave birth to my middle girl. She weighed in at almost 10 pounds 13 ozs. Today, she is about 1/8" taller than her older (by 13 months) sister. She requested that we spend the day at the Columbus, Ohio Zoo. She got to ride a boat ride (very nice, lots of fun) and a horse (big grins all around). She got to see the new baby elephant at the zoo.
Her biggest request was that after the zoo, that we please go to Ruby Tuesday for supper. We went there for my oldest girl's birthday. She wanted that special attention that her sister got. She was so funny, on the way home we drove past our exit for the route that she knew to get to the restaurant and she started crying. My sister-in-law, who came with us, told her to save her tears for something important because crying because we didn't go to the exit she was familiar with was wasted crying.
Esther was so happy to have everyone be with her. I am glad that we were able to do this with her. It was important.
One other thing. She got her cast off last Tuesday and she cried over that because as the middle child (older sister has red hair and younger sister is tiny) she tends to be overlooked and ignored by other people, but with her cast she received a lot of attention. So having this day let her know that we do consider her an important part of our lives.
Have a nice night!
Happy birthday to your daughter. Tell her, she does not need a cast to be spesial, she is the only one there who is Six.
