Already a Day Behind

So I’m attempting the 31 for 21 “unofficial” challenge again this year, and wouldn’t you know I’m already a day behind. I’m going to use the excuse that my dog was sick all day. Although that’s true, I still thought about it while laying in bed and just couldn’t drag my exhausted butt out of bed to post. Epic FAIL!!! So starting today I’m going to TRY to post everyday to raise awareness for Down Syndrome, and not to mention get caught up since its been way too long since I posted last!

The bad thing about not updating is I forget everything that we did! I’m bummed because I know there were so many special things that happened and the only one that comes to mind (the most special of all) is Addilynn’s 5th birthday! YES you read that right the big 5. How did this happen??? She is such a sweet girl she aims to please at all times and is such a good big sister 90% of the time. For her birthday she wanted brownies instead of cake so we had brownie sundaes. Yummy!! The weeks leading up to her birthday she kept saying things like, “I will never be a mermaid will I?” and “I wish I could be a mermaid.” So she got a monofin! It was a hit and she even talked auntie P into letting her try it out in the hot tub that very night! She even got a real tail from my friend Holly who made it for her! It was a very special day. She also got a friend party that was mermaid themed. She was a spoiled little 5 year old!
