Jady lady turns 4 next week, but we celebrated her birthday today in the form of a joint party with her cousin, who turned 5 yesterday. It was a family only party and very casual, but like all parties, there were highs and lows. And cake cutting injuries.
To give you a taste, here are some direct quotes from the birthday tyrant herself:
7:30 a.m. (singing) "It's my party day! My party day! We're gonna celebrate! Celebrate! Yeah! And dance! And sing! And eat cake! Yeah!!!"
8:25 a.m. "Mumma, my new party dress is too small so I took it off. You have to buy me a new one."
8:50 a.m. "Today is my party so everyone has to do what I say. Humph."
9:30 a.m. "C'mon Dylan, let's have a dance party to practice for the birthday party!"
11:40 a.m. (guests have mostly all arrived) "There are too many people in my house."
11:55 a.m. "C'mon Grandma. Let's go to your house where it is quiet."
12:30 p.m. "I don't like this kind of day. I am going to change my birthday to another day."
1:00 p.m. (as her cake is unveiled) "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!"
1:10 p.m. "AUUUUGGHHH!!! GRANDMA CUT ME!!!!!"
1:30 p.m. "Mumma, the icing on my cake tastes yuckky."
2:00 p.m. (upon seeing her new dollhouse from Grandma & Carman) "OH! I love it I love it I love it!"
2:11 p.m. "My new scooter makes me kind of nervous."
2:40 p.m. (pushing my Dad's face away as he leaves) "Nope, no kisses for you Grandpa."
9:15 p.m.
Me: It seemed like you didn't have such a great time today. Do you want to tell me about it?
Jade: Yes. Grandma cut my hand.
Me: That was an accident.
Jade: Yes, but she cut me. With a knife. And the icing on my cake was yuckky.
Me: It really was, wasn't it? So, what good things happened to you today?
Jade: OH, there was plenty. I liked opening presents. And the gumballs on the cake. And my scooter.
Me: What about your dollhouse?
Jade: What dollhouse?
Me: *sigh* Goodnight honey. Happy almost birthday.
Jade: Mumma, I love you more than the toilet flushes.
Me: I know you do, honey.

I remember those days. Kayla got a doll house for her 5th birthday and just about lost her mind.
Jade rocks. She is a legend in our house. I can't wait to meet her for real.

I think she needs to be weaned off of sugar--for a very long time. This may help with the Feick mood swings.
Still wish I were there! Sounds like an eventful day...She cracks me up.
I think you probably taught her the twisted "I love you phrases". I remember when I had an autograph book and you signed your name after writing: "Yours till bacon strips". Hardy har har. And "Yours till the kitchen sinks". Karma's a bitch, sis. xo
I hereby thank Tanzi for sharing some of your childhood secrets :)
Jade is quite a kid - that's for sure. I love reading her daily Jadisms :)
