I bought Allie her birthday present(s) today. Of course she was there when I bought them, she comes everywhere with me. I’m beginning to realize that it’s just as hard for a mom to wait to give the gift as it is for a kid to wait to receive it. Possibly harder. I mean let’s be honest, Allie doesn’t even …
