Birthday Fun
My son just turned 12 years old. Oh, how time flies. I can remember just yesterday bringing him home from the hospital. Sometimes, I like to sit and remember the past.
To start, we went to an outdoor play. Since we didn't want to sit on the ground, we bought some chairs. My son wanted to take a lot of toys that filled up two large bags. I was able to convince him to only bring one bag. Guess what? He didn't get to play with any of his toys. He was so engaged with the play. As was I. The play was about going through time and they also showed the changing times through the various seasons. It was rather warm. We planned on attending the day before but it started to storm. My mom and one of my sisters were going to attend but when we rescheduled, they couldn't make it. It felt so relaxing to just be in the chair and watch an amazing performance. In the end, my son jumped up and started dancing to the music. He truly had a blast.
On his actual birthday, was a school day so I let him play hooky. We went horseback riding. He used to take therapeutic horseback riding lessons. I am hoping to put him back into some lessons later this year or next year. The tour lasted an hour. He was laughing and giggling the entire time. I rode a horse as well. I haven't been on a horse since I was a little girl. I was definitely nervous. I plan on going again in the future. Riding a horse is a nice escape. It brings peace and just enjoying nature is a wonderful experience. It's very ironic because I am not an outdoorsy person. However, when there's an activity that my son wants to do outside, I am more than willing to participate. I always end up having an amazing time and experience.
The weekend came. One of my sisters came over and hung out with us. She also spent the night and we has a little sleepover. My son was beyond happy because he always talk about having a sleepover. We stayed up late, watched tv, and play video games.
I think that my son was able to enjoy his birthday a little bit more this year since the pandemic seems to be getting a little bit better. I am still very cautious about going places and visiting others at their home.
Stay tuned for more posts to come.
