My older daughter turned twelve yesterday. It was a good day. I made many vanilla cupcakes to take to school. The tradition at our school is for the parents to dash in with a cake at lunch recess (it's only twenty minutes) and sing happy birthday with the kid's class. It's a nice tradition for middle of the week birthdays. After school she had quite a bit of homework, but she did it without complaining (I cannot say the same for her sister who complained quite a lot about her own homework). Then we went out for sushi. Even though it seemed kind of uneventful, she said it was her best birthday yet. I adore that child.
The books and stuff I ordered for her just arrived today. So when she gets home I get to give her
Jacob Have I Loved, which was my favourite book as a girl, and season 1 of
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm not sure who will be more pleased (it might well be her silly mother).
