Not so Wee anymore

TheWeeOne turns five tomorrow – but we celebrated with 8 other little girls yesterday. It was an Under The Sea Tea Party and there were Jellyfish on the ceiling, Mermaids on the wall, turtles in the window, and BigFish in the hall.

[hmm, that sorta sounds like some sort of post-modern, disney,…ahh….country song…ermmm, never mind]

TheWeeOne had Ariel painted on her face…

And of course, TheMommy created an amazing cake.

I also took a page out of The HeidiCoaster handbook and did my first ever birthday interview.

What do you like best about being 5?
I dunno Daddy, that looks like a number two?

Ooookay, Are you a big girl now, or are you still a little girl?
Big girl…
…and I love to play and sing and swing on some swings and every time I’m a baby I go on the baby swing and I’m very fast don’t you know that Daddy?

Yes you are…What do you think that the next year will bring?
Some stuff I like.
[pause]
and I love to play and sing and…
but you just said that?
…but I love to sing even more than more.

What are you looking forward to the most on your birthday?
All I like the best is my Move Barbie Spray and a mermaid flying Barbie?
What is move Barbie Spray?
It’s spray and when you spray it on barbies they move all by themselves and swim and even flying.

[Allllrighty then….how do I follow that?] Ahhh,What do you want to do when you grow up?
I don’t want to do anything.
Why not?
Well, now I am saying that I want to be a princess and a fairy and sometimes I want to visit here whenever I want to visit a prince and I’m going to be Sleeping Beauty because I’m going to be living at Disneyland.

[from the other room LaGrande starts laughing…]
HEY!? Shhhh
[it stops with a titter]

Is there anything you can do now that you couldn’t do when you were four?
I couldn’t do a handstand but I could do a donkey-kick and I couldn’t do a backwards somersault, I could only do a forwards somersaults.

[as I’m furiously trying to keep up]

I sure do say stuff fast, huh Daddy!?

Yes WeeOne…among other things.
