Thank heaven for little girls
Went to the 3rd birthday party of a family friend. She's so cute. And tall for a three year old.
It was very difficult to pick out gifts for her. My parents and I hadn't spoken to her parents so we weren't quite sure what she was into, except a friend of my mother's mentioned "Dora the Explorer", a "seven-year-old Latina heroine who uses Spanish words to help her along in her many adventures with her friends Boots and Tico". We went to Toys R Us and were immediately overwhelmed by the amount and variety of the toys.
We found Beach Fun Barbie who came in a plastic bucket with a shovel, which we thought was good since the girl lives near the beach. My mother wanted to get her something fun and whimsical, so we found a dress up set with a crown of flowers, a wand and angel wings, all purple. Then we settled on a Dora doll. Most of the Dora stuff was kinda lame, either cheap looking or way too complicated. Then we picked up some cute clothes.
My mother couldn't make it to the party because of work, so my father and I went. It was fun to watch the kids run around. The birthday girl got a lot of gifts. Maybe I should start having more birthday parties!
