Let's Get This Party Started!

This is Joshua's current favorite phrase. Like all his phrases, I'm not sure where it came from but I have to laugh when he says it. He gets dressed in the morning and runs out into the living room "Alright! Let's get this party started!" "Come on Joshua, we've got to go to the store"..."Alright! Let's get this party started!" "Let's brush teeth"..."Alright! Let's get this party started!"

And speaking of parties, we went to a birthday party yesterday evening. I' had wondered about kids with summer birthdays before. When you are 4, 5, or so, most of your friends are your preschool friends. If you have a birthday in the summer, many families are on vacation, you haven't seen the preschool kids in a month or two, will they remember you? Will they come?

The party we went to had a really good turnout of preschool kids and friends of the family kids. Joshua, Ben, Caitlin and Daphne were all there...During preschool, Joshua, Ben, Caitlin and Daphne went to just about every birthday party there was. Other kids were hit and miss but you could always count on those 4 to be there. And there were some kids that didn't attend any of the birthday parties.

I think people are either party attenders or not party attenders. We just happen to be among the party attending group.
