What should have been an “Around the Clock” baby shower ended up being a Princess theme shower. That was fine by me.
This post is five months late but I’m still so grateful for
Lisa and Chantal who organized such an elegant shower. I can’t forget my other
ladies, Amanda and Charlette and my sisters, Camille and Yvonne for pitching in.
Lastly, to Jordana for always taking such great photos.
What would a shower be without family and friends? Thanks to
everyone who came out and for all the clothes (it really should have been a
clothes baby shower) and books (they were replaced with cards to help kick
start her library).
The games were a hit (especially bathe the baby) and the
dessert. Oftentimes when planning an event, I always leave
the cake for last and it never gets done. Not this time. I made sure to make
Zendaya’s baby shower cake my number one priority. The Coconut Raspberry cake
was devoured in no time.
A few days later, I finally went through the words of advice
my family and friends left for me.
Some of my favourites are:
“Read the Bible everyday to her and pray with her”
“Avoid discipline when angry”
“They grow so fast [so] enjoy each day/moment”
“Be a good role model – your child does whatever you do.
Love cherish and care for your child”
“Love unconditionally, Praise always, Lead by example”
There were two that had me laughing:
“Make sure you wash the baby”
“Send Zeny to Auntie Yvonne every other weekend when she’s
about 8 months old”
Now...time to print these pictures and include them with the hundreds of pictures I already have of Zendaya.
What words of advice did you receive as a new parent that you would like to pass on?
