Although Lena turned 5 on Friday, September 11, she started celebrating her birthday when Will celebrated his on Sept. 7. She actually got to celebrate a little all week. When I ask her what was the one thing she wanted, she said a doll that talks. I thought that would be an easy task, but finding a cute that talks proved to be a bit challenging. The doll she ended up with is a Baby Alive which eats and drinks and makes messes in her diaper. However, Lena does not know this, so shhh help me keep it that way. Of course that was the first thing Hope said when she opened it up, so I gently put my hand over her mouth! Who wants to buy diapers and food for a doll! Anyway, Lena loved it and the doll talks all of the time. With one slight push of her wrist, she goes on and on and on. This is just what we need in our house - more noise!
Lena had a great birthday and was well celebrated! She loved her Dora cake and other gifts and cards!
I also have to add that when she went for her five yr. old check up she didn't cry for the finger prick or her shots. She said she was going to be brave and she was!
