Birthday Party

Yesterday we had a birthday party for Emma. Her birthday was actually on the twentieth, but we didn't think Easter weekend would be good for the birthday party. She seemed to have a lot of fun and she even helped to open her presents. She especially liked to take the pieces of tissue paper out of gift bags. She would pull one out and throw it aside, then she would continue with the process. However, Mel and I did have to help her a bit with opening the presents, and she did begin to lose interest before we finished. She also liked her birthday cake. She had eaten some birthday cake on her actual birthday. That was much messier than this time, but it was still fun to watch her make a mess with the cake.

After the party, we didn't feel like cooking dinner, since we were pretty tired and had been on our feet for much of the day, so we went to the Irish Democrat for dinner. Since they do not have a children's menu, we fed Emma parts of our meals. Toward the end of dinner, I accidentally gave Emma a bit of jalepeño pepper in the food I put in front of her. To put it mildly, she did not care for the jalepeño. She pulled it out of her mouth and started screaming. We tried to get her to drink some milk or water, but she pushed those away as well. She calmed down fairly quickly when she ate some bread. I guess she isn't ready for spicy foods yet!
