miss specificity











a scooter. a pink scooter. a pink scooter with princesses.
a pair of "bean-ock-lee-arz." a pair of bean-ock-lee-arz with a butterfly.
a flashlight.
a microphone.
these were the birthday requests that stuck. and, although we talked about how we don't always get everything we want, this mama is still glad she replaced the red scooter {ever so much lovelier} with the cheap pink character-licensed scooter in time for the unveiling. Little was liberal with the praise, gratitude, and hugs. next time i will listen {and trust} better the first time.

for example, she was completely right about the flashlight. i could have done nothing else for the party. after i handed out the flashlights, i could have stapled myself to the cake and nobody would have noticed.
oh, and guess who's getting a lovely red scooter for her next birthday? the wee one is still open to suggestions.

  1. Looks to me like it was Auntie Lola who really wanted the microphone. Looks like a wonderful time was had by all.
