I failed to mention that my sweet sunshine girl turned a big 6 years old about a week a half ago!!! :)
All she wanted for her birthday were twin tiny little baby dolls and a baby highchair. How Cute! That request I could manage!
Off I went to the store to buy her the twin dollies. But the ones I saw, I just knew, were not going to be to her liking. Until I found these tiny little dolls-they were only $1~ and I was not at a tag sale!!! They really were that cheap~ and I could not resist so I bought her sextuplets-there were 6 different kinds so I picked one out of each. She was so excited~the joy was priceless. Her face lit up as she laid out her 6 teeny tiny babies on the table.
She quickly began to name these babies: Avila, Hannah, Johanna, Rose, Felicity and Theresa.
Then her big brother wrote their names on their tags. It became quite the family event! In fact, by the end of her bday-day, she generously gave the pink teeny tiny baby to her big sister so she could 'keep her forever'. This sunshine birthday girl has such a gentle, loving and kind spirit, unlike anyone I have ever met for her age. She is only 6 and yet she is teaching us all how to live unselfishly. She did not let those teeny tiny baby dollies out of her sight for the many days following. She motherly wrapped them each in a little blanket, swaddled them, cuddled them, fed them and carried them everywhere. I also came across a 'look-alike' Vera bag and so I picked it up b/c they could fit the dollies in each of its' 6 compartments inside the bag.
Sweetness is seeing my sunshine, with her easy going phlegmatic spirit, so content and full of joy on her birthday. She did not need or want much and yet so content. How we can all learn from her! :)
She did request a "My little Pony" birthday cake. We had such fun with decorating it. I can't seem to upload pics right now but I will try sometime over this weekend again.
God bless,
Mary
