Paige is Four!

Paige turned four yesterday! We've had a fun birth-week celebration for her! It started on Tuesday when she got to bring in cupcakes to her preschool class (she goes Tues & Thurs) and to be the line leader and bring in show and tell (a vase that she decoupaged with tissue paper last year). Also, it was nearly 70 degrees, so she got to wear the birthday dress, which she was excited about.
On her actual birthday, she woke up at 6:30 and immediately opened presents. Then we took Ashley to school and I took her to my favorite little toy store downtown. She was excited to pick out a present, but was totally overwhelmed and finally just said, "Mom, you pick out whatever you want for me. I'm going to play with the trains." What do you say to that?? She has such a sweet little personality! After some more prodding, she finally picked out a little stuffed dog in a doghouse and then went to play.

After we picked Ashley up from school, we went to the best-kept secret in town--it's basically a free Children's museum--there's a soft play area, slides, dress-ups, puppets, a reading area, and a theater. We played there all afternoon and then went to Panera for dinner and Maggie Moos for ice cream afterwards. Oh, and she got new jammies for her birthday and declared it pajama day. We brought Ashley's to her so she changed after school--they thought it was so cool to wear them all day!



Tomorrow, we're having her birthday party with all her cousins (& second cousins) who live in the area. She picked out a fish theme--I tried to get her to do something else, but she is determined that she wants fishies, so fishies it is...
Happy Birthday, little Paigie!
