Day Twenty-Five

This evening, we went to Party City to order balloons and pick up some other odds and ends for your birthday party on Saturday.

Your party is going to be Barney-themed, which I'm sure would have been really fun and easy to plan in 1997 as opposed to 2017. Thanks to the magic of Netflix and Amazon Prime, even though the purple dinosaur went out of style a long time ago, YOU think he's the best thing since sliced bread. I'm thankful that there are a very few people on Etsy who still make Barney merchandise. I was able to get you a cute Barney birthday shirt, as well as invitations and some stickers for the treat bags. Beyond that, the best I could do was buy decorations and balloons in purple and green-- Barney's colors. Hopefully it doesn't look too much like Mardi Gras!

Anyway, you LOVED Party City, and you've recently become interested in Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Every time you saw a Mickey or Minnie decoration of some kind in the store, you'd yell MOUSE!  Oh how I wish you'd been this excited about MOUSE a month or so ago when I started planning your party.


When we left Party City, we went to Gondolier for dinner. We told you and Nora that we were going out for dinner, and in typical Nora style, she requested pizza. But not just any pizza. She wanted pizza with big pointy pieces (as opposed to the smaller kid-size slices, I guess?) and she wanted to be able to save some to take to school for lunch tomorrow. Thankfully, you haven't yet started stating restaurant preferences, so it was easy to say yes.

I wish you admired me the way you admire pizza!
