Happy Birthday J



J turned 3 on Mar 29th and got a dollhouse that is bigger than she is. It's a Kidcraft wooden one that is 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide. A little girls dream-- and it wasn't even too bad to assemble. The kids have all really enjoyed rearranging the furniture and moving the dolls around. J tends to be a little bossy about just how things should be arranged, but the boys are pretty accommodating. She got a couple fairy dolls from the boys that fit perfectly, and a little baby with a crib from A. When I took the boys to the Dollar Store, they had a hard time choosing how to spend their $3. I told each of them they could only buy one food item-- R chose cotton candy and T chose ring pops, and of course, as soon as they were opened, they were asking J to share-- which she did willingly. We used the money from Grandma and Grandpa to buy her a CD player for her room so she can listen to books and music at bedtime like the boys.
She wanted a pink cake with pink frosting and candies on top-- but then the only thing she would eat was the candy and ice cream. She decided she doesn't like cake. Go figure. It took 3 tries to get all 3 candles, but she got them.

We went to Chuck E. Cheese today with her cousins to celebrate since we were still battling the flu on her actual birthday. She had a blast spending all her money and bought several bracelets and little trinkets with her tickets. It's amazing how much fun the kids can have with 100 tokens for $10, plus the free birthday ones and the bonus ones for the brushing their teeth chart from the website. We were there for over 3 hours!
