You know that song by James Taylor?.....'Shower thee people you love them the way that you with love..... show them the way that you feel...' Great song...
Well last Saturday I was put to a baby shower for me and my son. It was a wonderful day. it was cold and rainy, but I really think the weather worked in our favor. But there were about thirty people I knew (which was more than at our wedding) and each of the women and a few men mean so much to me. I am excited about the part they will play in my son's life as he grows and gets to know them.
A family friend, Susan was the most gracious hostess at her club. She set up a beautiful luncheon and it seemed people had a nice time.....Not a lot of peolpe like to do to showers, but I am not sure if it was just me, It looked like people were enjoying themselves. I don't know but maybe they were. It was a good mix of people. I tried to introduce everyone during my little welcome speech and let everyone know how I know everyone there.
My son was showered with so much love and generosity from all. I cant even choose if there was a favorite gift. Everything was perfect. I really am no longer the girl that loved to be the center of attention anymore. I remember my wedding shower I was having hot flashes because everyone was looking at me. We did something a little different though. We kept people busy during gift time by decoration onsies. This way the focus was not all on me. Perfect. And it also seemed things moved along quite well. Wonderful company, lots of smiles, great food, happy baby, beautiful life, lots of love in the room. Took days to go through everything and organize, but it was good fun.
Blessed and showered....Cant wait to do it for someone some day...to Shower someone I love....
