We had a big day today. Brooke was invited to her friend Paige's 4th birthday party! We have been talking to her about the party all week, and she was very aware that something cool was going to happen today. During the week we would ask her "where are we going this weekend?" and she would reply "Paige party". We were hoping that it would live up to all the hype, and it did.The kids were definitely older than Brooke. Most (but not all) were bigger than her too. There were a lot of games played that Brooke couldnt really take part in because she got a bit trampled, but she gave it her best effort. She turned down birthday cake (which was awesome because Mommy got to eat it) but did not turn down the goodie bag. In fact, that goodie bag must be one of the coolest things she has ever seen.
First thing she did?
This was a truly special day because the party ran during Brooke's nap. We knew she wouldnt want to miss the party, so we let her skip nap in order to attend. She did awesome at the party, but only made it about 5 minutes in the car before she zonked out.
Since we have been home Brooke has been doing two things. 1) Taking everything out of the goodie bag, admiring the contents, then placing it all back in and 2) Singing the new song she learned today "Happy Birthday"! She likes to take turns singing it to Paige and then to herself ... which isnt too far off base since her birthday is just in a few weeks :)
