We celebrated Abigail White's seventh birthday on Sunday with a gaggle of other seven year olds. For a moment Eva was the star attraction as Abby and her friends propped her up on their lap like a like doll. Before long the novelty wore off and the Big Girls were off playing downstairs. I went to the birthday party solo and was astounded by the boundless energy Eva displayed. She didn't stop moving for a second and explored every inch of their un-childproofed house. I looked at the other parents who were relaxed eating lunch uninterrupted with a wistfulness thinking someday that will be us again. Eva also had her first bite of cake, which she eagerly ate and begged for more. It gave her a little taste of what is to come next month for her own birthday.
