Low Key 4th Birthday

Willow was having a hard time remembering the number four when she would count. We figured she would have a better time remembering it after her 4th birthday. Birthdays are mixed for Willow. She doesn't like hats, cake or the birthday song but says presents are ok.

We practice "parties" with Willow as she had her first friend party. (The practicing didn't work. She was fine until the Mom called everyone from the tumbling to have cake. Willow ran screaming and crying in the opposite direction.)

So...instead of insisting on a party we just went with what Willow wanted. No hats, no cake and no birthday song. We went to The Tubes. She didn't eat anything but enjoyed the low pressure fun.
Niko brought a friend for ice cream.
Willow's favorite part was the "Barbie girl"....

and the ice cream. Willow told the counter lady that it was her birthday. "I'm four. Mommy tell the lady how old you are." The nice lady got a chuckle out of that and gave Willow a big bag of cookies for her birthday.



Totally ok with presents.
She loves her Niha* nightlight.

Happy 4th birthday Willow Pillow Bella Bella Peanut D*ra Princess. (The official name Willow has named herself.)
