Cupcakes for Breakfast

When you turn 5, cupcakes for breakfast seem like a pretty good idea. Actually it was Andrew's idea but Gina was certainly agreeable to it. When Gina got up in the morning of her birthday, she immediately got dressed (49er tshirt and too short leggings, but who am I to complain) and was ready to get her birthday started.

We frosted cupcakes for her preschool class and Gina and Andrew had fun putting sprinkles on top.

For dinner we went to Gina's favorite restaurant, Flames. Gina got a big hello from Roberto the manager and after dinner he took the kids to the case to pick out cake. Gina picked out the pinkest cake they had.

On Friday, Gina got her big present, a big girl bike. The only problem was it was too big. In the toy store, the bikes looked so small. But once Gina stood next to it, the bike looked huge. So she got to sit on it once before exchanging it. Of course, when she went with Vic to pick out a new one, she had to have the extremely bright pink Strawberry Shortcake bike (the one I specifically avoided). Why does everything have to have a character on it? Dora, SpongeBob, Disney princesses...

On Saturday, I finally got around to giving Dylan a bottle of formula. I had been procrastinating for weeks but I thought that maybe after seeing all the other babies at daycare drinking from bottles, he might be more willing to try. After playing around with it for a while he finally started to drink! Yeah!! He finished the two ounces in the bottle before starting to complain.
