Mikele's Birthday

Happy Birthday to my butterfly Mikele!!! I have been reading this parenting book that talks about a child's energy type. Mikele is definitely a type 2 child (type 2 in the book). She is all about fun! She is constantly coming up with new ideas and is full of energy. For her birthday she wanted to take pumpkin chocolate chip cookies to her school class and then to her tumbling class.  At tumbling they had her wear a big sombrero. Now where most people would have hated to be the center of attention and wear a big hat, Mikele ate it all up and loved every moment! For her birthday dinner she couldn't decide if she wanted home made mac and cheese or meatloaf. So she had the ingenious idea to just have BOTH! It actually wasn't bad together.

 I have no idea what she is doing. I rarely do. I think it was something they were doing at tumbling. You will have to ask her.

 PRESENT TIME! She is so particular when she opens gifts and cards. She has to do it in a certain order and yes she opens and reads every word on every card. 

 Mikele had seen this clock when she was shopping with me one day. She was very excited to get it for her birthday. It is sparkly just like her!

 She loves to be sparkly and dressed up! The only problem with her new outfit is that she is to darn cute! Funny story about Mikele: We were taking plates to the neighbors the other night. She had been home sick that day and hadn't changed out of her pj's. I told her she had to get dressed if she was going to go with us to deliver the plates. She came up dressed in her black leggings and her new sweater dress that she bought with her birthday money (very dressy outfit). She just casually declared "I just threw something on."  She loves to be trendy and dressed up.

 The big gift! If you read the "Santa" post you know that Mikele had two things on her wish list. One of which was a new ipod. Well she figured out that she was getting it because of the shape and size of the present. I am glad she wasn't disappointed. 

 Mikele wanted brownies instead of cake. I was fine with that. After making such a big dinner with two entrees I was good with an easy dessert. She is making her wish before she blows out the candles.
