The birthday party supply catalog came in the mail on Wednesday, and Kade has been in planning mode ever since. This isn’t just any magazine…no, this is THE magazine – the one that he has me “read” to him before every nap and at bedtime every evening, the one that he literally sleeps with (because placing it on the nightstand just isn’t close enough), the one that I pray doesn’t rip because the aftermath would be just too horrible to bear (I’m seriously considering laminating each page – just in case), the one that means his birthday is just around the corner. He has thoroughly studied every item on every page, and follows me around the house announcing what will be included in “Kade’s party.” As of today, we are going with Superman plates, pirate treasure chest party favors, Thomas fruit snacks and Fashionista cake toppers…he’s very well rounded, but when combined – the color scheme is atrocious. Thank goodness we have two more months to get everything just right.
