Mommy's Birthday

There's nothing more I like than to celebrate a birthday. Really, they are a HUGE deal to me. So when I learned that Mommy's birthday was coming up, I immediately started to prepare. I decorated homemade party hats and party blowers, wrapped presents, and collected items for her "surprise birthday party." I gathered everything into this big basket, covered it with a bed sheet and then "hid" the basket on the shelf, telling Mommy that it was a surprise and not to look inside.

After weeks of anticipation, Mommy's birthday finally came! At preschool, I made sure to tell all of my teachers it was her birthday, and drew her these pictures during class.

"The most beautiful picture ever." Rainbows for Mommy.

Mommy and Kaitlyn. The letters spell "Happy Birthday to Mommy."

When Daddy came home from work, I made Mommy go outside so I could set up her surprise birthday celebration, which consisted of taking everything out of the basket and laying it on the dinner table. Poh-poh and Goong-goong came over, and we had birthday cake. Then, Mommy opened her presents, which were random objects around the house that I had found and wrapped in plain paper. I think she liked them ("Oh, I was looking for that nail clipper everywhere!").

I made Mommy wear that tiara.

This is the book I chose for Mommy's birthday party. As in, she had to read the book aloud to me while we ate cake.

Mommy was very touched by all the effort and thought I put into making her birthday special. After cake, Poh-poh and Goong-goong babysat while Mommy and Daddy went out for a quick sushi dinner. I got to stay up until they came home around 9pm, which made me really happy. I'd say her birthday celebration was a success this year!
