Sam turned 19 two days ago and in her words "one of the best birthdays ever!" cos there was no school to stress over and she could really enjoy herself! Receiving her acceptance letter from NUS just a day before her birthday also made her 19th birthday sweeter!
She's also probably the only one in the family to celebrate her birthday over four days - pre birthday dinner at Pasta Brava, dinner party at home with her girlfriends on the eve of her birthday, mum's yummy birthday noodles and rainbow cake on her actual birthday, and post birthday lunch at PS cafe the day after! Julianne better not grow up to expect this for herself!
The hubs and I also took the opportunity to give ourselves a long weekend and to spend time with Jules. So we took the Friday off and brought everyone out for a lovely lunch at PS cafe - Harding Road. The last time I was here was when Julianne was 5 days old and stuck in the hospital undergoing phototheraphy treatment for her jaundice. I had sneaked out with my hospital tag on my wrist and all for my first decent post-delivery lunch with the hubs! So anyway, Julianne was in an exceptionally good mood that day, and smiled at everyone who stopped to give her the time of her life - from the waitress to the caucasian lady sitting next to us. At some point between her pumpkin porridge feeds, I caught glimpses of her smiling to herself as she explored all that was happening around her - busy waitresses with their plates of food, the rotating ceiling fan, the pretty flowers in the cafe ...!
Well behaved happy daughter + good food + good company = happy mama!
It was such a chill Friday! I wish we could do this more often!
