I am 28 now. Johan just laid down for his nap and when he wakes up, we are heading to my cousin's for some celebration. I've been feeling like late 20s are a time when birthday celebrations aren't quite as big of a deal. Obviously kids birthdays are exciting and fun and over the top. Then, as people grow older, birthdays become reflective and a celebration of aging gracefully and beautifully.
I suppose part of my problem is that most of my friends live far away and my husband works weekends. I didn't even have totally firm plans until 9 last night. Lots of ideas floating around, but nothing confirmed. Then, as Johan and I were playing in the grass this morning, giggling and sharing cheerios, I decided that this birthday isn't less celebratory, just happiness in a different way. A different way that will still include lots of wine and good food.

Happy Birthday! You could always do what I've done the past few year and go to the friends. Um, hello, not a coincidence I frequent Brooklyn in late May... except of course this year when I had friends in Madison!!!
