Today was my daughter's birthday.
Birthdays are happy events but sometimes can be little bit depressing because it is little reminder that we are getting older and older. And especially with children you can see how much are our lives short.
It feels like yesterday when I was in primary school and I used to visit my classmate in her house for playdates and oops... She updated her profile picture on Facebook, celebrating her 30th birthday. Oh wait, I am 30 years old myself. I don't even know how and when that happened.
Then my daughter. She is slowly but surely becoming Potterhead. She wanted Hogwarts school uniform as a birthday gift so I bought one for her and she was really happy about it. And as I was taking pictures of her I realised, that nearly 20 years ago I read my first Harry Potter book and now I am buying HP clothes for my 9 years old child.... Like come on, before I realise what is going on, she will get her Hogwarts letter and I will be officially old woman :D
Now all jokes aside. The worst thing about getting old is that everyone is expecting you are going to be matured and behave like adult. But I can't do that :D My husband use to tell me quite often that I should behave like an grown up woman and mother of three children and I am always like, sorry husband, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. Poor husband...
Anyway, I managed to cheer myself up with thoughts about my frustrated and embarrassed hubby and I feel much better now :)
And here are few pics of my "Hermione" and her siblings
