Sally turned three years old today. It’s hard to believe. As a family of four, we celebrated with ice cream after dinner. Nick was super excited about giving Sally her gift. Sally was excited about special birthday ice cream.
So, she ordered banana. She orders banana every time.
We had just a couple of gifts. In case you are wondering, when your almost five year old goes shopping with Stephen for a present, a pink guitar that makes noise comes home. She also received a Richard Scarry book.
Stephen and I got her a felt mosaic pattern set. She quickly got to work. (Only because the guitar didn’t have batteries yet.)
We ended our trip with a noisy ride home. Nick wanted Stephen to be a spaceship driver. He talked about space stations, lights, and space all the way home. Sally didn’t want to be left out. Stephen was her horse driver. It’s hard to parent in two different fantasy worlds at the same time. But, we survived.
Both kids fell asleep quickly tonight. I’m glad they had fun. Stephen and I sure did.
But…. did you buy batteries?
