Lolo's birthday party - round 2


After Jim came home, we had a small party for Lolo on thursday. Ashley (and her fiance, Nick) came over to play with Lolo and stayed for dinner. Let's just say our little girl had a BIG birthday week.

After dinner, I brought out Lolo's birthday cake (carrot cake by request)....Lolo bounced up and down, squealing "I'm soooo excited!" Pure joy. I wish you all could have been here to see it.

Here's a live and learn moment for me....Lolo requests carrot cake. She also requested Curious George for her birthday theme. As evidenced by her party at school, she has a rather short memory for these things. When we brought out the cake (complete with Curious George and candy hearts), one of the things our girl commented on was why mama made a carrot cake when a monkey on a cake clearly means it should be a banana cake. Duh mom....what were you thinking?!?!
And here's another one...I cut the first piece of cake for Lolo. Since it's her birthday and I'm feeling generous, I cut (what I believe) to be a good sized piece for her. Lolo takes one look and says "I don't want that piece." Hmm. What's wrong with it? She wants a bigger piece! Yeah right kid.
Three is going to be a bigger challenge than two. Pray for us.
