For the first time, we decided to celebrate her half birthday as a way to do something we could share with people and include Ed is something really joyful. Often I am just too sad to do much on her real birthday and I think that will be true for a long time. But this was so fun. I hope this can be something that Ed looks forward to and remembers as the years go by.
This year, we ordered a bunch of purple beach balls.
We took 12 of them to Ed's daycare to donate to the school and share with his friends on her actual birthday. They were a huge hit! The kids loved them and the school will continue to use them in the classroom.
Then on Saturday, we took about 30 more beach balls to the local public pool. The parks department was lovely and worked with us so that we could set up a display asking people to take a ball, enjoy the day and help us celebrate her life. Ed had a blast at the pool and it was so cool to watch these purple beach balls everywhere at the pool.
