On Saturday, Gillian and I went to Target to get a few things for the house and also some wrapping paper and a card for our baby shower gift. Since we were there, I decided to check out the baby section. I saw some cute hooded towels and I let Gillian pick. She said “I like the owl. The shark scares me!” So I put the owl towel and some washcloths in the cart. And then I heard, “Hi guys!” Aunt Missy was in Target! I saw some baby things in her cart and I said “You shouldn’t be buying baby clothes.” She explained that they were for a shower. Then Gillian stood up in the cart and said “We have stuff for the baby!” And she showed Aunt Missy the towel and washcloths. Yup, that’s my life. We had gotten so close to the shower without any slip ups and then Gillian opens her mouth. Aunt Missy just laughed. As we were leaving, I said “See you tomorrow at Gigi’s party.” And Gillian added “It’s a girl party!” Ugh. Again. We quickly got out of the store. I didn’t want Gillian to have another opportunity to spill the beans. 

Sunday we went to Mimi’s house for the party. Gillian was super excited and decided that she wanted to be the first person to see Aunt Missy. She waited patiently for a few minutes. 

The funny thing is that when Aunt Missy did arrive Gillian was off playing with her cousin. 

The party was a success. Gillian and McKenna helped Aunt Missy unwrap presents. And the baby got lots of great stuff.
