THING TWO’S 4TH BIRTHDAY
She was so excited about her birthday that she woke up half an hour early so she could open presents. She had so much fun opening everything before breakfast. After she had everything open, Thing One said, “What about the kitty?” I felt so bad that I had forgotten about the stuffed kitty on the shelf in my closet and hadn’t wrapped it! She had used her $6.11 to buy it at the book fair at Sarah’s school last week. B/c she didn’t have enough money for it, I said I’d kick in the extra IF AND ONLY IF we put it away until her birthday as one of her gifts. She was fine with this idea until it was time to actually put it away. She cried and cried! It was SO hard to stand firm and not cave in. For a couple of days, she asked for it, then she finally accepted reality.

Today is also Thing One’s best friend’s bday. Yesterday, we left his present at his grandma’s house so he could have it to open this morning. Guess he couldn’t wait — we got a call last night from his mom, saying that he loved it.
