The century (the millenium) thus far, birthday edition
July 11th, 2006 Caroline
I’ve noticed a fair amount of retrospective blogging lately; here’s my contribution.
2000: I’m a newly-minted PhD, and about to marry Tony, but I cannot remember what we did for my birthday this year, the last one unaffected by children. Dinner out? Party? Probably.
2001: I’m just pregnant and so sleepy I can barely stay awake through my lovely birthday dinner.
2002: Ben hangs out with friends while Tony and I go to the Indigo Girls concert.
2003: Multiple celebrations! My baby friends (that is, my friends with babies) surprise me with a fancy picnic lunch the day before my birthday, and we have lots more friends over for a party on the day itself.
2004: Two year-old Ben acquires two new sentences just in time for my birthday: “I love you, Mama” and “Happy birthday, Mama!” Plus, we have a great party.
2005: Stomach flu and baby blues from #2 make it hard for me to enjoy this one.
2006: Bracelet birthday! I’ve been given five, including the pipe cleaner one Ben made me at preschool.
