Tooooo Muuuuuch Girlie Stuuuuuf!!

Good Grief this has been a girly day.

Caitlyn…our own entitlement princess turned 5 today.

She has been a force of nature since the day she was born.  The comparisons with this next one will be endless entertainment for years to come, I am sure.

She is tough as nails.  NOTHING bothers her except being wrong. Being wrong is the worst thing in the world to Caity.

She will NEVER say she is sorry.

She will FIGHT you to the death to be right.   No punishment phases her except maybe taking away ‘special’ toys.    And then only for five minutes max.

Jason Bourne and James Bond could learn a thing or two from her.  No torture would have her spill her secrets.

Stubborn is putting it lightly.

Yet she loves pink, makeup and all things Princess.

She wanted a Princess Party.  She wanted to invite all her social circle….this close to my due date, there was no chance in hell.

So today instead , we took her down to the Hair Loft for a special SPA session.  This is the kids hair salon down at the Kids Market at Granville Island.

She was given a little terry spa robe to wear and while she had her hair put up in a fancy do, had her nails and makeup done.

She enjoyed the experience immensely.

She enjoyed us buying even MORE stuff at the Kids Market on top of all the stuff we had bought already.

As well as this funky ‘fembot’ from Nana.

They like her big rack.

Anyway…she loved her ‘do ‘ though it was nowhere near as good as the one she got at Disneyland which lasted –  I kid you not – three days.

This do is trashed already.

So we spoiled our princess rotten as we could.

She even got a princess cake.

We hope she enjoyed herself.

All the girly stuff has almost been too much for the rest of us.  Specially macho Adam.

I think he was glad to be in school today.

Tomorrow is his last day…Goodbye Grade One!

And goodbye annoying teacher with stupid sticker system.

They were given award certificates today.  He was upset because he only had three on his, while other kids had loads….they were for things like the home reading, spelling etc.   Apparently, while AGAIN we have been happy with his work….all the sticker charts and so on were being counted towards these stupid farking awards.

I really will not miss that teacher and am praying the plan stays that Caity will not have her for Kindergarten either.

Caity says the baby is coming tomorrow now that we made it through her birthday.  Being that I am contracting as we speak….she could be right.

I would really like matters taken out of my hands right now.  We had said we would come in to see about them trying the ‘Version’ thingie  to move her head down, but being that we can’t set an exact appointment time and would end up probably spending the day there, neither of us are keen on this.

Life sort of gets in the way.   Child minding, jobs….you know.  Life.

I also feel that she will turn when she is ready.

Anyway…

Happy Birthday Caitlyn….you sure have made life entertaining for the past five years and I am SURE things will only get more interesting as you get older.

You are a beautiful willful girl and we wouldn’t have you any other way.
