Mina's 3rd Birthday

Mina has been looking forward to her birthday for months.  



July 2017 
M: Grandma, I'm going to be four on my birthday!
Grandma: Really? Are you sure?
M: Yes, I'm going to be four!
Grandma, second guessing: I could have sworn you are going to turn three...
M: Mom, how old am I going to be?
R: You'll be three
M: [looks betrayed]


August 2017
R: Mina, why aren't you sleeping yet?
M, tapping her head: I'm thinking about my dollhouse.
R: You don't have a dollhouse
M: Not yet!
R: Er, when are you going to get a dollhouse?
M: For my birthday.
R: Oh yeah? Who told you that?
M: I told myself!  I want a PINK dollhouse, with a PINK bed, for a PINK baby.  A pink play baby. And a PINK pillow, and a tiny kitchen set! (emphasis hers)


Other requests: "A double stroller. No. A side-by-side double stroller. Not a front and back stroller. A SIDE-by-side stroller." 

Other requests: "A pink doll cake".  We all know my own cake making skills so Mina is lucky she has a very indulgent and talented Masi.




Pool party at the Goldfish swim school: Alex (Kate and Aaron), Juliette (Alex and Maly), Brad and Blake (library friends, not sure who their parents are), Yanique, Nika, Willem (Whitney and Jan), Maggie and family, Jae Min and family were all able to be there.  


Pizza for the aftermath
