Peyton practices her buoyancy at swim class today. We got lucky and she had a “semi-private” lesson as two other kids didn’t show up. Here’s one of her swimming in the waves the coach was making (they were supposed to be in the ocean). Jumping off the wall. The other kid was a bit tentative, so Peyton decided to jump anyway. We’d warned her last week to keep her toes off the side of the pool since she seemed like she was jumping back a bit, and I was afraid she was going to bump her head. I told her we could “Riddle the Rides” if she listened to her coach, and paid attention so as not to distract Brandon like last time. She did all that she was asked. When I wrapped the towel around her, she whispered, “I listened today, can we riddle the rides?”
After swim, we hurried home to shower up, and left for Kira’s tea party. It was a FA reunion with all the girls. As soon as she walked outside, Katelyn and Taylor said, “HI PEYTON!” We wished Kira happy birthday, and she said hello to Peyton, too. Peyton went into shy mode. She stuck to my leg, and she didn’t want to go decorate her stuff like the other girls. Ashley was stuck to her mom, too. Soon, the other girls arrived, with Bar, Emma both coming in and being shy as well. We tried to come early, as I knew it would help Peyton more, but we just couldn’t manage. We weren’t that late, only about 5 minutes, but since things were in full swing, Peyton needed some time. We started eating, and Peyton didn’t want to eat either. This was so unlike Brandon who took off with Ian as soon as he got in the door. They were so self-sufficient, that Dave came outside with the girls. Dave got to hang out with Kathy’s sisters and brother in laws, while I was trying to convince Peyton to enjoy herself. After lunch, Peyton was more interested in playing Bey Blades with Ian and Brandon. I had to drag her outside to take pictures when we were singing Kira the birthday song. She agreed only because she heard she’d get a cupcake, but even then, I had to tell her she had to go outside because she was being rude to Kira. She went with me, and sat down next to Kira. After dessert, the other girls went to play with the wagons in the backyard. Peyton said, “I want to go play with them.” Those were the sweetest words I’d heard all day! Finally, she was able to enjoy herself, and not be stuck to me. She had a good time, and we even heard her talking! I was telling Kathy it’s weird for me to hear Peyton’s voice out loud in public, since it’s so rare that I do. Kathy said it was probably the most she’s ever heard Peyton, too! She kept calling to Kira, “Come over here, Kira!” Peyton got into one of the wagons, but before being pulled by another girl, she said, “Wait, I have to put my seat belt on!” Then she told Kira, “Kira, buckle up!” Safety first, love it! The girls were all having so much fun until one girl tripped and skinned her knee. Peyton was concerned and went over to Bar to see what had happened. She was fine, but that prompted the crew to go inside to play with the kitchen there. Peyton enjoyed playing with the cash register. I found it funny that she didn’t play with the fake money or coins, but went right for the credit cards! There was a UCLA one in there, and I showed Peyton and asked her what it was. She knew the traditional script and said, “U-C-L-A!” Jenny, Kathy’s sister heard, and said, “Mommy and Daddy have taught you well!” Ian and Brandon resurfaced to fuel up. Brandon was finally hungry when the girls had started to leave. Dave said Kirby, Kathy’s brother in law, commented how well-behaved Brandon was, and that they all thought he was much older than he actually was since he was playing so nicely with Ian. Hopefully Ian wasn’t too tired, since he had helped Kathy get things ready the night before.
Slowly the families started to go home. The girls who had the hardest time coming into the party had the hardest time leaving! They were having so much fun, they didn’t want to go home. Taylor, Kira, and Peyton were all eating outside. Peyton hadn’t eaten much due to stage fright, but then became interested in eating. She ate a whole pile of edamame, and at least two servings of fruit. She wasn’t too interested in the egg rolls or any of the other appetizers out. Soon, she came inside to play with Brandon and Ian again. They were playing Twister and then later Jenga. Taylor left quickly, then Kira joined the three in the living room. We left by around 4pm and Peyton asked to take her shoes off in the car. I thought her shoes were too tight, but she was just trying to get comfortable. Within seconds, she was asleep. Here are some pictures that I was able to take. Chris took more, and I look forward to all the pics he got!
