Big girl party

This girl had a party.  A big girl party. 


Wanna know what we did?

First, we got some balloons to decorate with.

Next,  we helped daddy make a cake.

Then after dinner we put two candles in our big girl cake and sang "Happy big girl party to you".


And blew out the candles all by ourself.

Next, we got all of our binkys out and had one last suck.


Then we put them in an envelope (that we decorated with stickers) to send to the babies that need them.


 And took our package to the post office
And mailed it.

Our big girl is doing great!  In fact, even better than I could have hoped.  There was one moment when we were walking out of the Post Office where she asked for her binky (it was close to bedtime) and we said, "You just mailed them to babies that need them. Remember?"  And she had this look of "Oh crap.  What did I just do?"  But then she was fine and since has gone to bed like a champ. Her naps are getting back to normal as well.  Whew. 


We officially have a potty trained, toddler bed sleeping, binky-less BIG girl. 

It's kind of sad for me to think that she really is a big girl and not a baby, but I have to admit this big girl phase definitely has it's perks.

[Note: The idea for this came from an extremely creative sister who had a similar party for her little boy. I just changed a few things and obviously made it a girl party.]
