it is not everyday that you get to dress up like a ladybug! nana and papa are over helping me get things ready for the trip to kansas city and we are also getting ready for meredith's first birthday party...... can you guess the theme? ladybugs!!! somewhere along the way i have realized that i favor nature-minded toys for meredith and have found some really neat bug stuff. it just seems like the cutest thing for our little girl and for *future* kids too (we hope!) so a ladybug themed first birthday party is the way to go! yes, yes, i know what you are thinking. it is too early for *future* kid talk but someday i will be fertile again and it will be time to make more precious babies! just not yet!
