Her Early Birthday Gift

Last week or so The Phi received a birthday card from Toys R Us. Inside there was a little gift card. And I mean little. It was for $3. When I got home from work she showed me the card and I asked her what she was going to buy. She immediately responded that she was going to buy the Barbie Jeep she has been wanting. I told her she better add some zeros to that gift card.

We went to Toys R Us and we wandered. She spotted the Barbie Jeep and I spotted the $300 price tag and somehow redirected her attention to the next aisle. The bicycle aisle. PR Dad had her hop onto a bike with training wheels and off she went. She did not need any direction or help. Just started cruising around the aisles.

It was decided she was getting a bike for her birthday.

The next day we took her out to a park. We strapped on her helmet and let her go. And off she went.....


I looked over at PR Dad and said, "Can you believe she is riding a bike?". I was all teary eyed because my baby is such a big kid now


And PR Dad being PR Dad just shrugged and said "Well yea, she's almost 4 years old". Oh PR Dad and his black heart.

Oh and with that $3 gift certificate?

She bought streamers for her new bike.
