We had talked about getting a fish once we moved and last Saturday was the day. Nate had found the fish bowl the day before at the thrift store and we bought some rocks and then we went to the pet store and Paige picked out a beta fish. Paige loves to help and she loved helping setting up the fish's home.
She named the fish Lucy even though it is a boy fish. She is insistent that it is a girl since it is so pretty. She also loves that the fish is in her bathroom and goes and talks to her and sees how she is doing every day.
About every week Paige decides that it is one of her baby doll or barbies birthdays. We use whatever dessert we have around the house and put candles in and sing to that doll or barbie. Last week she decided that it was Baby Cinderella's birthday and so we had a little party.
The dessert we had laying around was a cinnamon roll so she decided how old she was turning and she put the candles in and we sang to her and enjoyed some cinnamon roll.
Once I told Paige that we could have a party after dinner she spent a good hour wrapping some presents to open. She got some of her books and got the wrapping paper out. She cut out the pieces and wrapped them all herself. I didn't help at all and she is better at wrapping presents than I am.
On each present she had her name and Baby Cinderella's name- that is the "name" on the bottom.
Another day I had the camera out since we had just finished doing a letter of the week activity and I took a picture of it. She decided she wanted to do different poses with her blanket and for me to take a picture of them all. She is so fun and silly and she also LOVES her blanket.
Yesterday was a gorgeous day and so we finally decided to go and check out the playground at the school that is right next to our apartment. We packed a lunch and had a little picnic and then Paige had so much fun on the playground. Since it is at an elementary school all the things were perfect size for Paige and she didn't want to leave when it was time to go. I know in the future there will be lots of days spent there.
