365:Day 102 ~ Goodie Bag

So, today was Macy’s very first “drop-off birthday party”. I knew that it would happen eventually, but thought that we might make it through kindergarten without it. But. Today was the day. One of the little boy’s in Macy’s class had a party at Boomerangs, and it was during Carly’s naptime. After much deliberating, we decided that dropping her off would be the best and easiest option. {Plus, Boomerangs is literally 3 minutes from my house.}

Macy was instantly – instantly – on board with me dropping her off. Not a moment of hesitation. Not one. W.H.A.T.?!?! I thought that she’d at least be a little apprehensive and I’d have to talk her into it a little, but nope. Excited really. Happy to be dropped off. Whatev.

But I digress…the point of this is to say that everything was totally fine. It felt pretty weird leaving her there, but I managed. And Macy Gwynne. Well, she had a BLAST! She was zipping down the giant blow-up slide when Carly and I got there to pick her up, and informed me on our way home that she now LOVES bounce houses {something she has spent the last 6 years avoiding}. And…she got this goodie bag full of candy! She loved every minute.

This girl is growing up.
So fast.
Wow.

So glad it went well for Macy! Yep, growing up WAY too fast!

We have one tomorrow... at that same place... and Lainey's not a big fan of bounce houses either! I hope it goes as well as it did for Macy! (I'll have to let Lainey know Macy loved it... that should help!) ;)
