• Rissy's Birthday

  Today is Rissy's 6th birthday.  Her stomach is still bothering her, so our "Mexican fiesta" will consist of chicken & noodles instead of tacos & cheese dip with chips!  HER idea, totally!  She said it, "made more sense!" 

  Plans for the pinata still stand.  Bad stomach or not, I guess she can still whack the thunder out of a pinata if it holds prizes and candies!

  Big story about her birthday cake.  She has "only" talked about having an "Ariel" birthday cake at her next birthday since about August of last year!!!!!  As I have repeatedly said, she has looked at the cake decorated with "Ariel" each and every week we are in Wal-Mart's bakery.

  We went in yesterday to order the much coveted Ariel cake.  As I summoned the bakery lady to place our order, Rissy put her hand on my arm and said, "Wait!"

  I thought she wanted something special written on her cake.  I turned to asked her what she wanted and saw her eyeing a NEW cake!  This one had a plastic, bejeweled silver crown and wand you could wash off and actually wearing.  ALLLLLLLL pink and girlie frosting and trim!

  "Mmmmmmom," she asked with those huge brown eyes, "would it be okay if I changed my mind?  THIS is the cake I really, really, really want!"

  The bakery lady was wonderful and brought out the plastic crown and the Ariel figurine that went on top of each cake so she could see for herself what she would be getting.  I knew she'd change her mind and go back to Ariel as soon as she saw the darling mermaid sitting in a clam shell.

  "I want this one.  I'm quite sure I want the crown and wand, Ma'am," I heard her say to the patient bakery lady!

  So, girlie AND pink win out once more.  All of her packages are wrapped in some type of pink paper with pink ribbons.

  Do I know my little tomboy (with pink roses) Rissy, or what?
