Ainsley's 10th Birthday

The last day of school was May 29th. This was also Ainsley's birthday. She started off the day with some golden grahams and donuts for breakfast. Healthy, I know. But that is what she wanted.

Ainsley's dream has been to have me take her and her friends to Karie Anne's for a gelati. So as soon as school let out, I picked her up along with four of her friends and we drove over to get gelati's. This was one of Ainsley's presents. Afterwards we came back to the house and Ainsley played all afternoon with her friends.

For dinner Ainsley said she wanted a picnic so we got some fried chicken and headed over to the nature park. We ate and took a walk and then went back home for cake and ice cream.
Ainsley was pretty mellow all day because she said she was having a weird sensation where she felt like she was in a dream so she was a little fuzzy headed. It has been bothering her for a few days. I said maybe it was because she pretty much lives on a diet of sugar. You can tell by all the food she ordered for her birthday. :)

I am glad to have Ainsley in our home. She adds a lot of personality to our family. I have noticed lately that she is really good at and willing to play with anyone. She is the kind of person who can play with a kid five years younger than her and still have lots of fun. We rely on her to entertain people. She is really good at gymnastics. She is also the kind of person who knows what she wants and then she does what she can to make it happen.

Ainsley's teacher handed out awards on the last day of school and Ainsley was given the Nobel Peace Prize. Terry and I were glad to see that her teacher thought she was a peacemaker because there had been some drama between friends at school. But Ainsley was so offended that she got that prize and not the prize for the person who laughs the most. She felt sure that she laughed more than anyone else in her class (which wouldn't surprise me because we often have a hard time getting her to settle down and stop laughing). We had to tell her that we felt more proud to know that she could be a peacemaker than a giggler. She didn't listen to us much.
