If birthday presents are any sort of indication where your child is at in her development, then Calgon, please take me away.... A pair of women's size 5 Pumas; a silver Camp Rock clutch purse with matching bangle; a TNA tote bag; a teen-y magazine; a necklace from The Loft.
I have found myself drowning in this horrible "she's not a baby anymore" lament these last few days. My only consolation after this point-of-no-return birthday weekend was her request for me to braid her hair for school on Tuesday.

I have video of us singing 'Happy Birthday' and Mellie (and kids) blowing out the candles. I'll email it to you.
