This year Amaya celebrated her 4th birthday party in pink style. The party invitation specifically stated that guests needed to come 'perfectly primped in [their] pink outfit'. We held the party at the local gardens and fortunately the weather/rain held off - in fact it was so lovely and warm standing in the sun.

Amaya was so excited about her birthday this year. She looked forward to her two birthday celebrations - one with our little family and another with friends and family. And, she received some of the most perfect gifts. The people in her life know her so well.

I cannot believe girl number one is four years old. I still remember the c-section. I still remember the doctor holding her above the screen and informing Luke and I that we had a baby girl, on which I promptly asked Luke to double check - her gender was such a shock. I still remember the crash after her birth. The depression and many hours of counselling to follow. But, in her arrival to this world she has made me love like never before. I ache when I'm not with her. I miss her voice, her laugh, her constant chatter, her curious questions and unique personality. In a heart beat she brought me deep joy. And now with Remy in our lives I feel completely fulfilled.

Just the other day Amaya was asking me if I was going to die. Death is her latest topic of obsession. I believe in an open policy and I told her that I was going to die one day. We all do. She quickly informed me that she didn't want me to die because she would miss me too much. And so she thought of a way to keep me here - she is planning on holding on tight to my top, my pants, my shoes and my undies, just so I'll never die. She was pretty proud of her action plan.

This little girl is mine forever. I love celebrating her birthdays. Love making them extra special for her. I cannot wait to celebrate so many more of them - even if she feels the need to hold onto my undies.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 4th AMAYA EVE!
(More commonly known as May May)

Such a gorgeous girl. What a special party you put together for her. I love this post. I believe it being open, too, even if it means you can't sugar coat everything....and i LOVE that she's holding on tightly to your undies...

I hope that the elastic is strong in your undies as I would hate for it to break whilst Amaya was trying to hold onto you. A great day was had by all at Princess Pink Amaya's fourth birthday party Look forward to her fifth.
It was great to read and see that Amaya had a wonderful time at her party. I am so sorry that we couldn't be there. she is one very special little girl and I love that she is going to hold onto your undies to keep you in this world.
Love and hugs
Jo
