We wanted Shayna to have a really cool birthday and so we let her choose whatever she wanted to do that day. She wanted to skating with her best friend so Dan and I took the two of them and they had tons of fun going around and around the skating rink. They skated until they could no more. Funny how Shayna is so good at everything that she tries and Dan asked me that day how in the world did Shayna learn how to skate, he didn't teach her, I didn't teach her, we just bought the skates and she put them on, three days later she was skating all over the neighborhood and this is when she was 6 years old. She is just awesome.
After going skating we told her she could pick whatever restaurant she wanted to go to, we advised her to make a good choice since she could go anywhere, you know what she picked? Wendy's... later on she was kicking herself because she realized she could have gone to Denny's or somewhere else... oh well, but she did enjoyed her meal, she was with her friend.
We dropped her friend at her house and then we went back home to pick up my mom so just us girls could go shopping together, since boys get bored shopping.
We went to a show store when they have awesome deals and I offer to buy her a pair of shoes and with her money she got a pair of purple boots. Then we went to a clothing store but we couldn't find anything she liked so we went to the mall and got lots of jewelry from her favorite store there, then to Forever 21 where she found a blue sweatshirt with the Superman logo. We were so tired by the en of the day but we had a lot of fun. I made her a sorry looking cake, I am trying to teach myself a new technique and it didn't quite work out but she was happy with it.
I know we only have our kids for a little while and it makes me sad that Shayna has probably about 8 or 9 years left with us and that is wishful thinking, we are trying our best at being parents and hope that we haven't messed her up too much, she is a great person, kind and loving to others. I see her at church and she makes me proud of how much she is learning and what a strong testimony she is gaining on her own. I lover her so much and will treasure every single moment I get to spend with her.
On a side note, she has become a very good babysitter with friends and a couple in our neighborhood. She has been making lots of money and is constantly asked to babysit Friday nights and Saturdays... so much that she has to pick and choose at times. I am glad she is finding joy in what she does.
