This past Saturday was Little Girl'
s birthday party. It was a flower themed party. We had a pinata, bubble machine, cake, "pin the petals on the flower" game (very much like the "pin the bow on Hello Kitty" we had for Big Girl's birthday party in October), and presents. It was an hour and a half of 3 four-year-o
lds, 2 three-year-olds, a two-year-old, a one-year-old, a six-year-old and a seven-year-old (10 kids altogether) running around and having fun.Monday was Little Girl's actual birthday. The girls and I went to Hubby's work and picked him up for lunch. We went to a local hamburger joint with a play-scape outside and an ice cream shop next door. It was perfect. It was the first sunny day we'd had in 5 days, and also the first day of Spring Break. The girls had a great time, and it was nice to sit in the sunshine with Hubby during the middle of the day watching the girls play. After lunch we took Hubby back to work and stopped in to say hi to the folks in the office. (H
ubby has worked with this company since before Big Girl was a year old. It's nice for them to get to see the girls growing up.)Monday afternoon the girls played outside. Little Girl got a dog mask for her birthday, and she wore it for a LONG time that day. I got Big Girl a bunny mask from the same store so they could both have one. It was so funny watching them play with a soccer ball wearing those masks.
Later in the week, Big Girl asked me to make her hair curly. The timing of her request couldn't have been better. She asked after bath-time, and just before bed. In my mind, that's a call for sponge rollers! Before they went to bed, I put the rollers in both girls' hair. Big Girl's hair takes curl like Shirley Temple. For Little Girl, it's not so easy. Her hair is very straight naturally. It didn't even curl when she was a baby. By lunch time, Little Girl's hair just looked messy. Big Girl's curls were still quite pretty, even though they had loosened considerably. This is the kind of thing Spring Break is for, in my opinion. Playing with hair, and sleeping in!
Another highlight of our Spring Break so far (it's only Thursday, after all), has been Big Girl losing her first tooth. She lost it. Really. We can't find it. It wouldn't surprise me if she swallowed it. If that's the case, then I'll just hold out for saving the second tooth she loses. This first tooth that's been lost already has its permanent counterpart in her mouth. It looks like it is moving forward to take the place where the baby tooth was. All this is very good news for us. Hubby and I were afraid the dentist would have to help her out to get this going the way it should.
The tooth fairy came last night. Big Girl is still talking about it. I think the tooth fairy was quite generous to bring a gift even though there was no tooth for her to take.
Hope you all are having a great Spring Break! I know I'm going to enjoy my last day of sleeping in tomorrow!
