*Having been awake for a while, sat on my windowseat daydreaming, i smile as i see Belle and Nala running around the yard. Figuring as the birthday girl seems to be awake i should probably head downstairs, i grab my slippers and slip on a hoody before grabbing toni's present and heading downstairs. Doing a double take as i pass Iona heading into the kitchen i make no comment other than to say good morning and head for the kettle, checking its full before flipping it on and automatically reaching for a mug for me and momma before remembering Iona's up and grabbing a third. Placing my present for toni on a side table i smile at Momma and wish her good morning*

*Waking super early and finding myself unable to go back to sleep i get up and go over to my dressing table and have a seat. Looking in the mirror i put on my glasses and study my image carefully in the glass for a time, noting the changes that have occurred since i appeared on Nantys doorstep. Reaching into my drawer i remove the traces of yesterdays make up and study the now fading purple of my hair. Nodding to myself I grab my things, pulling a box from my drawer and head to the bathroom.
Locking the bathroom door for privacy, i open the box and study the directions inside before taking a deep breath and applying the contents to my hair and let it do its thing, before showering and dressing as normal. Heading back to the bedroom, hair wrapped tight in a towel i again take a seat at my dressing table before unwinding my hair from the towel and looking at my reflection in the mirror. Running my fingers through my hair, i barely recognise the face staring back at me. Finally i smile. This is right, this is me.
Drying My hair, i smile as i run my fingers through it, marvelling at the colour i havent seen in so long. Glancing at my makeup, i make the decision to forgo the usual mask, opting instead for just a slick of gloss and instead of removing the glasses i keep them on as i should have been the whole time. Grabbing toni's card and present i bite my lip and head off downstairs to the kitchen.*

*Feeling a wet tongue on my cheek - Belles usual method of letting me know its time to get up - i screw up my face and wipe at my damp cheek as i slowly open my eyes, yawning. Not ready to be awake yet i think about pulling the covers over my head and going back to sleep when a hyperactive furball in the shape of Nala lands squarely on my middle! Shoving the dogs off the bed i grab a hairband and drag my hair back into a messy ponytail before showing my feet into my sneakers and grabbing my hoody, knowing ill get no peace till i let the pups out for their morning run.
Heading downstairs i hear movement in the kitchen and, figuring it's nanty, call through that im letting the dogs out for their run before opening the door and nearly being flattened by the pups as they rush past me. Standing in the doorway i blink a little in the bright light, shivering a little as i note that it looks like it might turn out to be a nice day for a change!*

I had told the girls what we would be doing for Kiki's birthday, since Toni's ad been the day before. It seemed redundant to do the same thing and, besides, there is a large difference between a 10-year-old's birthday and a 4-year-old's.
I had taken the older girls to a costume shop while Kiki was at a playdate earlier in the week. There, I had rented fancy tea party outfits for each of them and myself, then chosen one for Kiki.
On Kiki's birthday I tell her to go put on the dress on her bed and set up the tea set in the living room.

It has to be hard, having a birthday in the month of December. Especially for a child.
And both Toni and Kiki do.
On the morning of Toni's birthday, I get up and make a big batch of chocolate chip pancakes for everyone to have for breakfast and set the table nicely. I always let the kids sleep in until they were ready to get up on days when there wasn't school or some other reason that getting up early was needed. At the same time, though, I knew the time that Toni normally got up and had timed everything to be ready near then.
At her seat, her chair was decorated with a purple balloon tied to one of the handles and there was a birthday hat sitting at each place.

I chuckle when the kids all start to ask if we can eat. "Okay, let's get started, then," I answer as I sit.
