Hey,
As you can guess by the title, my baby sister turned one! On the twenty first of August. I’ll recap the day for you.
The night before, I stayed up and blew up what must of been fourty balloons, put up banners saying things like ‘birthday girl’ and ‘Happy 1st birthday!’. I woke up the following day, and snuck downstairs, and gave my sister what must of been the biggest hug ever. I twirled her around too. She was having a giggling fit. Fast forward to opening presents time, her dad, mum, my brother and I were the only ones present. (She opened presents from my nan, aunt and uncle a few days before) opened up four-five presents by herself (the presents were wrapped loosely enough that she could just pull at it and it’d rip) and then got all grizzly and went down for an hour nap.
An hour and a half later she opened up the rest of her presents, and was having a blast playing with all of her presents. She got a drum, shakers, a baby guitar, this weird singing thing, clothes, and a ton of other stuff. She looked adorable in the outfit my brother and I picked out for her in NEXT.
Later on, after tons of games of hot potato with a baby (she’s surprisingly good at it), eating cake, baby TV and reading birthday cards, we went to a place called P.L.A.Y. that used to be called Fun Junction (a hugely nostalgic place. I used to go there tons when I was younger. The place hasn’t changed a bit!) all together. Mum, her boyfriend and my sister were all sat in the baby play area; while my brother and I are running around this place. You technically have to be 11 or under to play on the equipment, (if you’re over the age you count as an adult?) but what they don’t know wont hurt them. By the end of the hour we were there, I was sweating like crazy. I haven’t done that much exercise in ages! My sister had an amazing time. Two twin girls called Morgana and Mortricia (amazing names) taught my sister how to climb stairs. My sister now loves to climb stairs – much to my mum’s dismay.
All in all, the day was really nice, and I’d say she enjoyed her first birthday lots!
Yesterday I met up with three of my best friends and had a blast. We went up the park, got lunch from the chippy and ate it on our school bridge, got hyper, ran around, chatted, and got a tiny bit sunburnt. (I’ve never been sunburnt before! It didn’t hurt that much, my cheeks and nose were just a little red, but it went away pretty quickly)
Also… we go back to school soon D: Oh no! I can’t wait to go back to school… not. I miss my friends and Him like crazy, but i’m not looking forwards to year ten… not one tiny little bit. All that pressure and studying? No thank you!
i’ll post again soon!
