Jaya's first Barbie

No matter what anyone says, I am still a first time mom. I am and will always be still learning. I really hope I don't miss anything I am supposed to learn along the way. I am sure I will though and I'll just have to learn it again in some other way it's presented to me. For example; the barbie knowledge I recently acquired. Jaya's 4th birthday is tomorrow and I have of course been shopping for age appropriate gifts. I skimmed over the barbies without even a real glance. Well, it's a good thing Jaya goes to daycare with some great kids with great, experienced parents, because wow was I wrong!Jaya got her first barbie at her daycare birthday party last Friday from her Friend Randi Kae. She loves it and rarely lets it out of her sight. It was the top pick. Of course it came with all kinds of great accessories which will now require more accessories and more clothes and more barbie friends and additions to the collection she started with that first Race Car Barbie. The first barbie is kind of a right of passage for a little girl. This was a big deal to me, to Justin not so much. Thanks again Randi.
I would like to give credit to myself that the barbie still looks as good as it did in the box. Thanks to my convincing argument that she did not need her pony tails taken out or an always famous and I'm sure, in time inevitable, haircut.

Jaya hosted another one of her lovely tea parties, and thankfully Makayla was available to attend. They had a wonderful time and shared some fine delicacies of store bought frosted sugar cookies and girl scout cookies with delicious chocolate milk.
