unfortunately due to her feeling like crap and looking a very good imitation of it too, percy stayed only 10 minutes at the third celebration of her first birthday- combined parents group party. it was quite a shame because she usually likes to get out and play with her baby mates and explore new environments. never mind there's always next time.
we stayed long enough to say a few "hellos", drop off the salads that were our contribution to lunch, add our present swap to the pile also picking up percy's present and a helium balloon.
percy had actually perked up a little by the time we walked home again... she loved the balloon far more than the present!
something that really impressed me (but maybe i'm easily impressed) is that percy learnt to pass the balloon string hand over hand so she could pull the balloon towards herself to finally grab it with no instruction or copying from us. is it super obvious that that is what one must do to get things at the end of a string? well i thought she was genius in the making!
(the perkiness didn't last long, poor missy. she went down for her afternoon nap quite miserable. she didn't want a lot of dinner either.)
