It was Erin’s birthday, so along with a massive cake, I took the family to the Barnyard Theatre, and we had an amazing time. I also got her clothing and a PlayStation 4 game, which has been great fun, although it did bring a bit of anxiety, as our competitive sides tend to show up uninvited.
Moments like these stay with you. They’re special, full of laughter, but there’s that reminder in the back of your mind, somewhere between the cake, the music, and the inevitable “rematch”, it hits you, she’s growing up and isn’t my little one anymore. I suppose now she’s just a slightly taller, sharper, more competitive version, who still expects cake and a win.
Oh, and as we celebrated over Easter the search for the hidden Easter eggs is still enjoyed.
