I cannot believe that she is 10, two digits. It really makes me scared that soon she will be 18 and will be gone.
She misses her friends and life in Abu Dhabi a lot and I wanted to make sure she feels special and get spoiled. She needed that.
After a long discussion we finally decided to throw the party at Kidzania for 4 hours. I thought 2 would not be enough to explore and play enough. I believe this is the last age for this place, she will be too big for that as I can see it can be not satisfied enough as for younger kids. Some of her friends had never been there so it was exciting for them and luckily all her girl classmates made it to the party.
My daughter was so matured and such great host. She made sure she made everyone very welcomed and played with them all and not left out anyone. She checked in with them how they are doing and if they need anything. She realized that she cannot do whatever she wants only so was fine with some hiccups here and there. She tried not to get upset if some of her friends formed a small group and tried to hang out together only. Instead of getting upset she decided to join those groups by taking her turn.
I kept telling her you do what you want, leave them and enjoy your day it is your day but she was more matured than me.
They had lunch and continued playing. After 4 hours we came home. Luckily Mag... was with us on our way to Kidzania and way back to home so she enjoyed her company and talking all the way in the tube. She was so cute.
Then she came home and opened her presents and played with her friend until she is gone.
She was excited, exhausted but happy in the end.
Next day it was her real birthday, party happened on Sunday. I decorated the house, put the tree already, bought her gifts (I needed another two to complete to 10) She wanted 10 gifts, well she did not want but hinted as she saw this in youtube channel a girl gets 10 gift on her 10th birthday, I said why not. I mainly bought small stuff but she loved them all so I was so happy. I bought the food she likes and when se came with her friend Asu.. she was so happy to see the house decorated, the table was looking great with festive season thyme and they enjoyed their food. I did not have time to bake the cupcake cause I was exhausted and so tired so I did not bother much but still felt bad.
Luckily her dad brought some cakes she would like (she did not eat them but I finished them all) and blew the candle and made a wish. She was so serious and concerned about her wish if I could only knew. I hope your wish came true my love.
She could not sleep and went bed very late, she was so happy and excited and It felt so good.
You are worth all that and many more. Happy Birthday my love hope it will be an awesome year for you.
