Sasha had permission to invite a friend over to watch a movie this afternoon and somehow that grew to five girls showing up today to watch movies, eat pizza, and hang out for a few hours. (We approved this but also chuckled at how it snowballed!)
We’ve been (mostly) careful through all of Covid but we’re also conscious of the impact that’s had on our kids (and all kids really.)
It wasn’t a birthday party for Sasha today (that’s next month) but it sort of felt like it a bit as we are conscious that Sasha has foregone what would normally be two pretty fun, memorable childhood birthdays (both her seventh and eighth were celebrated in quarantine due to Covid)
No one brought wrapped presents (again, not actually a birthday) but we were surprised that every single one brought something – chocolates, cookies, candy and one who brought oranges which felt especially fitting as we pass the two year anniversary of Covid being declared a worldwide pandemic as they’re a gift of good luck and warding off evil spirits in Asian cultures.
