I had a wonderful time turning four years old. My birthday was Feb 28 and on that day I had a big birthday party with a bunch of my friends from school. We held it at little gym (one of my favorite places) and one of my favorite teachers ran the class. We got to do everything I wanted. We jumped on the air track, played with hula hoops, and played Red Rover. I was even able to go into the closet where they store all the good toys and pick out which piece of equipment we could play with next.
After playing, we ate cookie cake. This was my parents idea. I didn't really like the cookie cake but Miss K (my preschool teacher) told my dad that kids don't really like cupcakes. She said we like cookies and frosting but not cupcakes.
So, against my protests, my parents decided to get a huge cookie cake for my birthday. It was a huge hit! All my friends started chanting "cook-ee-cake, cook-ee-cake" as the adults debated the best way to cut and serve the odd thing.
Finally, I opened presents. That was also very exciting, but despite all the excitement, I worked very hard to remember all my thank-yous.
At the end I did a very good job thanking everyone again for coming and we all went home for a nap.
That night, grandma and grandpa took us out with my aunt and cousin for a birthday dinner. I didn't eat much, but I loved the presents I got then too.
On Monday, I brought frozen fruit pops into school. We were going to celebrate at school on the Friday before my birthday, but a big snow storm hit so we waited until Monday. The delay meant I could wear the beautiful blue wings, crown, and magic wand I received as presents.
Finally, we did one more small bowling party with a couple of family friends. That is when I got to eat the shark cake I started asking for back in July with my sister's birthday. My mom was very proud of this cake too.
It is fabulous being 4.
