Six

already. Where does the time go? Signe's birthday was long lived. She opened gifts from us on her birthday morning and had cupcakes at school, but we didn't have birthday cake until the next day because Dad was gone until very late on the 12th. Then her party wasn't until the 23rd.













A six things about Signe at six:

1. She is an amazing reader. Reading at a 2nd grade level. But she would rather be read to than read aloud.
   
2. She loves stuffed animals and plays with them. There must be 25 in her bed. More keep getting added all the time. Soon there won't be any on her shelves.
3. She has an eclectic sense of style. (Wait for the pictures with Santa. I'll explain.) Though she is pretty easy going about what she'll wear.
4. She is a picky eater. Luckily, the stuff she likes to eat is pretty healthy. At school they have to taste whatever is served at snack. This has really helped find more things she likes.
5. She doesn't do anything very quickly.
   
6. She loves to draw and wants to be an illustrator when she grows up.

For her birthday, she wanted an Alvin & the Chipmonks party. Why does she always pick something that isn't in the stores? For a cake, I ordered a High School Musical cake because it had music notes on it. Then I cover the HSM image on the cd case with a Chipmonk image. I made party hats with the Chipmonk initials because I couldn't find plain hats. Is it really asking too much to have party stuff that isn't characters? I couldn't even find a pinata that wasn't a character or even just "Happy Birthday", so we had to make a pinata too. Sadly, it only lasted one whack. The kids didn't seem to mind too much. They really only want the candy.
