In true “Pony Style” Lucy celebrated her fourth birthday. The day before her birthday was her birthday party with friends from ABC School. The boys were home because it was a snow day so we had a great group. It was a different experience planning a “girlie” birthday party. There were no trucks, swords, or pirates. We did have a pony piñata and we played “Pin the Cutie on Rainbow Dash.” For being such a basic game the kids all got really into it. We had rainbow cupcakes too.
Her actual birthday was the next day and it started out with gifts. She got a new “Big Wheel” which will be great fun when the snow goes away. She also got the game “Busytown” that EVERYONE loves playing together. The boys went off to school and Seth was able to work from home. In the afternoon we took her to Build-A-Bear in the mall to make a Pony. She loved it all and since the place was empty she got a lot of attention. We took her and Conrad to the play place after where she made a new friend.
That evening we had a family party that our neighbors Nancy, Lanlan, and Alan joined us for. Alan gave her the gigantic Pooh Bear that has been everyone’s favorite toy. Who would have guessed? I love the picture of Nancy tickling Lucy. What a fun night of laughing.
What a year of change it has been for this little girl. I love all of her silly observations like, “mmmm mom this bathroom tastes delicious” (said while walking into the bathroom at Target) or “your room is so pretty mom”. We asked the other kids what they loved about Lucy and Charlie said, “I love Lucy because she likes cool things like Legos and isn’t too into princesses.” She does love Legos especially the Lego magazine which she spends hours looking over. I love her friendly nature. She loves going places and meeting new friends. She can be really shy around adults but I’m fine with that. She loves to look at books all day and she would let me read to her for hours. She was also the first child to figure out my password on my Ipad. She twitches her mouth to one side when she asks questions. We are so thankful she is part of our family. I asked her some basic questions about herself and these were her replies.
