Growing up is easy

It has only been a week since Grandmother passed. Even though that is still fresh in our minds, Mother is calling to set up a birthday party for me. She says it might help to move on. Actually she wants to have a get together with family and friends for all of us, then just her and I are going to come home to celebrate my birthday. That sounds just fine to me.
*
Mother prepares the hot dogs to take to the party with us. She said we will be having the party at the local pool, and that does not have a grill available. Even though I will not be able to swim, it sounds like fun, and I can not wait to meet more family members.
*
We arrive at the party, and before everyone eats they all take a swim. Boy does that look like fun. I can't wait to grow up just a little more so I can swim too.
*
Mother even had contests with others to see who can hold their breath the longest! Wow. She always won, she is a very fit woman.
*
My mother told me she went to the restroom at one point during this party and she happened to notice Aunt Ayla getting sick. Mother has become pretty dramatic about things since Grandmother passed on, so naturally she is really worried.
*
A little while later, Aunt Ayla came to explain to my mother. Originally she thought it was some bad food from the local cafe' but soon discovered, after a doctors visit, that she was 'with child'. She told me that meant that I was going to have a cousin. Aunt Ayla already has one child, her name is Caitlyn. We do not see each other very often, I guess Mother and Aunt Ayla do not get along well.
*
Since Grandmother passed away, Mother has become more neurotic. She checks the stove to make sure it is off, anytime she is about to bring me into the kitchen. We are about to come in and have our little birthday celebration, so she has left me in the living room while she makes sure everything is safe.
*
Mother brings me to the cake, and promises she will help me blow out my candles. She tells me that I need to make a wish, which means I should ask for something I really want. Mother also says if I tell my wish, it will not come true.
*
So I make my wish and blow out my candles. There are only two, but I am older than that. I am turning into a child!
*
Wow, the view is so much different from up here. Now I can do a lot of things I could not before... like swimming! Mother and I talked about growing up, and she says there are a lot of responsibilities that come along with it, like going to school. School sounds fun, there are other kids my age there!
*
Mother showed me to my room, which is brand-new. She says that big girls need a new bedroom set. She got me one in my favorite color, green. I love this room. My room has its own bathroom adjoining it, and also just next door is my own play room, to put all my toys in. I also got a dollhouse for my birthday.

Growing up is easy,
learning new things is fun.
Although I wish I had a baby sister,
maybe Mother will have another one.
