Saturday started out as a great day. We had a lot of errands to run, including picking picking up Sawyer's birthday cake and balloons. She is feeling fine now so we were going to celebrate her birthday Saturday night. Running around all morning sometimes backfires on us because the kids spend too much time in the car. We got home at nap time but neither wanted to take their afternoon nap. I think Sydney was too excited to celebrate Sawyer's birthday because I kept talking to her about it. I told her as I was trying to put her down for a nap that as soon as she woke up, we would have a birthday party for Sawyer. So needless to say, 15 minutes later she is yelling for us. Jim gets her out of bed after repeated attempts to tell her it is time for nappie time. No luck. We bring her downstairs and she tells me "I waked up Mommy!"

I made homemade chicken noodle soup (Sydney's favorite) and we sat down for dinner. Two bowl fulls later, Sydney was in good spirits. Full belly, fun playing with daddy. Then she starts gagging from laughing so hard...up came two bowl fulls of undigested chicken soup. Bathtime messed up the party plans for the night. She kept saying "I sad Mommy. I puked." Poor Sawyer's celebration got messed up again!

Finally we got to celebrate it yesterday afternoon. She was unimpressed again with the cake. She took a few tastes and that was it.

This is not what I envisioned for my little girls 1st birthday here in New York. Thankfully we had a nice party for her in Pennsylvania when I was home. We will make it up to her somehow! Pictures of her little celebration to follow.
