To File Away


This post is more for me than anyone. In case I don't remember Savannah's "loves" as she is getting ready to turn six. . .

The birthday wish list is as follows:

Stuffed animal horse - mommy and baby

Hard Plastic horse

Thumbelina and friends (Barbie dolls)

Mommy and Daddy bed for the her dollhouse

Bathroom for her dollhouse

Barbies - clothes, a doll with a pretty pink dress and Barbie's bike

Bean Bag chair

Hello Kitty scrapbook

Camera

Hello Kitty radio

Dinosaur sticker book

Dinosaur figurines


I must not forget that she really wants a Cars (the movie) birthday party. Leave it to my girl to love Barbies, dinos and Cars. I hope she never loses her authentic self. Not many girls play with dinosaurs or cars like she does. She has yet to see that Cars and dinosaurs are "boy toys" in our society. I love this about her. She has never played with baby dolls, gotten into dress up or been over the top girly. I can't deny that it is slowly creeping into our house as she spends more time at school and on playdates. For now, I want to preserve the innocent and "unaltered" Savannah. I know that she will be a very different girl a year from now. Sending her off to school this year is going to kill me.
