Day 196 - July 15

Last year, on the night before Michaela's birthday, I got a wild hair and decided we needed to decorate a little bit to make it fun for her in the morning. It probably had something to do with the fact that I'd been having contractions for about two weeks at that point and wasn't entirely sure I'd get through her birthday without having a baby, so I wanted to make it special.

So at some late hour, we blew up balloons and stuck them to her chair at the table and scattered some through the living room.

This year, there were no balloons around since the party is a few more days after her birthday than it was last year, so we had to settle for some of the streamers that will be part of the decorations on Saturday.

To a 4-year-old, though, streamers hanging in your door when you get up from bed in the morning is pretty much the coolest thing. So it all worked out in the end.
