I was invited to Coco’s birthday party down at the beach. I only see Coco every once in a while as she does not live here full time. We have hung out on a few occasions such as my easter egg parties. Mom, Roxy and I headed down to the party and I fell asleep in the car it was 4:30 pm and I hadn’t napped all day.. Mom and Roxy had to wake me up and I really was not in the party mood once awake but off we went anyway…
It was great to see Karen, she adores me always has and she is always the nicest hostess! All the kids were splashing in the pool when arrived so we said hi to the few faces we knew and those we did not know too! We sat around the big table and caught up with Hilary and Ryan. Shortly later it was time for presents, I had bought Coco a rain stick and made her one of my famous homemade birthday cards! We went up to give her my gifts as everyone had got out of the pool and were signing happy birthday to Coco. It was at that time the other little girls “saw” me too. It was a tad awkward for a moment as staring always makes one feel uncomfortable. One girl asked me why I didnt move my eyes and the next girl asked why I was sitting in this chair and not up and walking. I heard my mom say that I was special, and she also explained that I had just woke up from my nap and was not in the mood to be social! She asked the little girl if she ever had days like that and she said yes. Coco liked her rain stick and she remembered me from the times before. Even though questions were asked and looks were made I did not mind. The word special means so many things, some parents and kids don’t understand but I hope my presence makes them more aware.
