Last weekend we had the final of Grace's birthday celebrations. We headed to Rainbows End with 7 of her friends for an epic four hour party! Grace had an absolute blast!
I didn't get to see a lot of the park this time as I was organisation the party room and the food (Wonder Woman theme for both!!). However, I have been with Grace a number of times to Rainbows End, I know how much fun she would have had with both Chad and her friends.
The one bitter sweet part of the party is that all these lovely girls are heading off to different schools. I have really enjoyed watching Grace's friendship with them grow, and I adore the Mums too (which makes play dates so much more bearable!!)
Apologies for only having two pictures!!! I know Chad has some better photos which I will upload when I can get them off his camera.

We are now heading into our last week at Penguins day care. Another milestone that I have mixed feelings about! I have to say I am incredibly stressed about the transition to school. We have not had the time for Grace to do school visits (the school said that they don't do them in Nov or Dec, which I did not realise!!) so Grace has only had one morning visit and we do not know who her teacher is yet.
Given how Grace (and I) struggle with change, I know that drop offs will be stressful for us both for a little while.
For now I am enjoying the casualness of daycare and our morning routines. The first is as we drive away from home how Grace "calls" her soft toy butterfly and gives him instructions on what he needs to do with the other toys during the day (I do the voice of the butterfly and she talks into her hand as a pretend cell phone).
Then once we arrive, Grace takes the toys she has brought on the drive into the car seat so that they can safely come to work with me while she is at daycare. She kisses them and tells them to be good and not eat too many lollies.
Man, I love that girl.
