This weekend we had a birthday party for my sister-in-law Lore. We had a great family get together to which everyone brought a very specific potluck dish.
It was Grandparents lunch recreation theme. David and Lore's grandparents were German but Germans from Ukraine.
It used to be that after church the whole family would get together for lunch each weekend. They ate borscht and piroshki and verenika and lots of other very homey comfort foods. So that is what we all made for Lore's birthday. It was GREAT!
My fridge is full of leftovers and Kiernan has easy healthy foods to eat and Lore had a special family birthday party.
Kiernan was so wound up and happy to have all his "friends" around him. He was especially enchanted with his aunt Pammy. It was very sweet.
I often wonder when I see him in a social setting, so comfortable seeming and happy, how on earth did I give birth to this creature? I am shy. I am shy and introverted. People freak me out. I sometimes get really hyper around people from nervous energy but he seems to actually enjoy the whole thing. But then after everyone left he collapsed and I felt that I could understand that end of the process completely.
I am quite proud of him.
He has done so well. We have been going to church each week since the incident. We are trying a different church. It is much closer and it starts earlier and has some great activities. The teacher is very patient and the kids share Kiernan's level of energy. He is starting to pay attention to the teacher and he is getting into the routine and the singing and the games and I think he is really loving it.
I want him to spend time with other kids and learn how to follow instructions and all the sorts of things that might happen in preschool. I feel like he might like preschool but also that he is young and it is expensive and unpredictable. This way I get to be with him and see how it is going.
Also David made another Fire Truck Cake and it was beautiful...that man is a genius.
